Dear UHC Family & Friends,
As we approach the end of another calendar year, I find myself reflecting on the extraordinary journey we have undertaken together during the Fall 2023 semester. The past few months have been filled with academic achievements, community engagement, and the vibrant spirit that defines our university family.
I want to take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to each member of our community—Marianites of Holy Cross, Board of Trustees, President’s Advisory Board, students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends—for contributing to the success of the semester. Your passion, resilience, and unwavering support have been instrumental in making the University of Holy Cross a beacon of knowledge and progress.
As we approach the end of the year, I invite you to join me in celebrating the achievements of the Fall 2023 semester by considering a year-end gift to the University of Holy Cross. Your support plays a crucial role in maintaining the high standards that define us. To make your year-end gift, please click here or visit our website and click ‘Give’.
I wish each of you joy, peace, and moments of reflection with loved ones during this holiday season. May the spirit of the holidays fill your hearts with warmth and gratitude.
Thank you for your continued support, and here's to a bright and promising future for the University of Holy Cross.
Spes Unica,
Stanton

On November 16th, we held the Lt. Governor’s Town Hall here at the University of Holy Cross in conjunction with Algiers Economic Development Foundation and Algiers Historical Society. The intent of the town hall was to generate ideas on promoting tourism in Algiers. Many thanks to all those who supported this event.

Essay question: Fr. Basile Moreau’s vision in his treatise Christian Education emphasized
nurturing the hearts of young individuals and fostering a positive connection with
their faith. How did your experience with the Family of Holy Cross (Priests, Brothers,
Marianites of Holy Cross) form your heart, develop your faith, and transform your
life to make you the person you are today?
As a component of the commemorative activities honoring the 175th Anniversary of the
presence of the Holy Cross Family – Brothers, Priests, Marianite Sisters – in Louisiana,
you are invited to share your reflections on the impact that Holy Cross has had on
your life. We will select 175 essays for publication that most meaningfully convey
the ways in which the teachings and principles of the Holy Cross Priests, Brothers
and/or Marianite Sisters have played a transformative role in your life. Essays should
