THE HOLY CROSS COMMUNITY AT NOTRE DAME

• The Holy Cross priests and brothers who reside on campus live either in one of the residence halls or in Corby Hall, built in 1893 just to the west of the Basilica. No matter where they live on campus, however, all of them see Corby Hall as their “home,” the place where they gather at different times for meals, common prayer and other events. The lineage of this community extends back to the first band of brothers headed by Rev. Edward Sorin, C.S.C., living at the University they established.
• Members of the Corby Community include scientists, scholars in the humanities and liberal arts, leaders in social justice activities, artists, administrators, and many others, representing a wide age range.
• The legacy of Moreau is not entrusted to “independent contractors” who simply use Corby Hall as a dormitory, chapel, or cafeteria. Members of Holy Cross know that their strength for mission comes in part from the brotherhood they share through their common life of prayer, recreation, and meals.
• Moreau and his successors have seen that this experience of unity helps the Holy Cross religious to be leaven for the world as they go out on their respective missions, which are ultimately the same mission—that of Jesus Christ.
