Best of the Week 2022-2023: Holy Cross Values

ST. ED'S COMMUNITY CELEBRATES THE FEAST OF ST. EDWARD

St. Ed's community gathered together this week to celebrate our patron saint, St. Edward on his feast day. Welcoming Fr. Brian Ching, C.S.C., students not only honored our patron saint, but also honored Hispanic Heritage Month by presenting the First Reading and singing hymns in Spanish. Fr. Ching's homily focused on the central values of peace, happiness and joy that St. Edward emulates and spoke about the true meaning of freedom through Christ.

As the perfect example of genuine freedom, St. Edward, a King of England, professed his life to God's calling to serve his brothers and sisters and to meet their needs and desires before his own. Through self-sacrifice and service to others, we, like St. Edward, can experience internal freedom, peace and happiness by being more intentional in how we think, act and serve.
