Charting Your Path
Whether you’re in a time of discernment, actively involved in your community, or feel called to religious life, we walk alongside you in your reflection. Discover the many ways you can join our mission and give new energy to your vocation.
A Future Rooted in What We Love
We have three programs that take into account the reality of where each person is in their personal experience. Meetings and activities aim to better understand one’s life forces, one’s relationship with others, to offer a way to transcend the daily routine and to make a connection with the religious dimension that creates life according to the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth.
Group A
Single men and women, ages 17 to 25
Purpose: Support a personal search for the orientation of one’s strengths to build one’s life in a perspective where Christian religious faith and life commitment are integrated.
Means: Creative activities, group discussions, workshops, and an introduction to “praying your life.”
Groupe B
Single men, age 30 and older
Purpose: Discern and support an orientation to life in a religious community
Means: Personal support, sharing with peers, choosing your stages of engagement.
Groupe C
People aged 18 and over who want to join the Holy Cross religious family
Purpose: Carry and amplify the impact of the mission of the Holy Cross family.
Means: Meetings, discussions on the spirituality that inspires us, pastoral projects to develop and celebrations at the heart of life.
