Dear Friend,

Our calling is to serve the Lord Jesus in mission not as independent individuals but in a brotherhood. Our community life refreshes the faith that makes our work a ministry and not just employment; it fortifies us by the example and encouragement of our confreres, and it protects us from being overwhelmed or discouraged by our work.
-- Constitution of the Congregation of Holy Cross, 4:33
