"Soon after joining the faculty of St. Edward's University in 2002, I became intrigued by the history and traditions of both the university and its sponsor, the Congregation of Holy Cross.
Basil Moreau founded the Congregation of Holy Cross in the mid-nineteenth century in Le Mans, France. Today Le Mans is the site of an annual summer pilgrimage guided by the Marianite Sisters of Holy Cross. I was fortunate to be among the first lay Holy Cross educators to participate in the program and it was there that I began filming. I am deeply grateful to the Marianite sisters in New Orleans.
With assistance provided by a St. Edward's Presidential Grant and the support of my colleagues, I continued interviewing members of the family of Holy Cross here in the United States. This is their story. I hope it enlightens other newcomers to Holy Cross about our rich past and the powerful mission we all share in the present."
