The Holy Cross Mission and Ministry Center provides pastoral care to anyone who is hurting and in need.
We strive to imitate the way that Jesus cared for people by providing an environment of compassionate presence, healing and comfort for anyone experiencing times of loss, unexpected crises, personal difficulties or transitions. We collaborate with the Counseling Department and the wider Saint Francis community to provide support to students in need through a variety of programs and services.
Spiritual Direction
One of the most important functions of the Holy Cross Mission and Ministry Center is to provide students a space where they can come for comfort and guidance. All members of the Holy Cross Mission and Ministry Center make themselves available to students seeking a deeper relationship with the divine. Through personal conversations and sharing, students are encouraged to cultivate and deepen their relationship with God by growing in their knowledge and appreciation of their faith and how that is lived out in their daily lives.
