On this 71st anniversary of our founding, we pause to thank God for the countless blessings and graces bestowed on our community—including those bestowed through our brothers who now rest in the peace of Christ. Many of those blessings have come through you our friends whose supportive friendship, prayers, and benefactions continue to support our life here at Holy Cross. On this anniversary day as we renew our commitment to following Christ in the Cistercian Life, we assure you all, once again, of a loving inclusion in our daily prayers and Holy Masses.
