Spirituality at Holy Cross
The Academy’s mission to develop women of courage, compassion, and scholarship is rooted in Catholicism and links directly with the philosophy of the founder of the Sisters of the Holy Cross, Blessed Basil Anthony Moreau.
“With eyes of faith consider the greatness of your mission and the wonderful amount of good which you can accomplish.”
- Blessed Basil Moreau

Retreats
At Holy Cross, students participate in peer-led retreats that culminate in Kairos, a transformative four-day senior retreat. Through spiritual talks, group discussions, and reflection, our girls deepen friendships, build trust, and learn to live Christ’s message.
