Home Faith and service
Faith and service
Faith shapes everything we do at Holy Cross Lake View, from the classroom and the chapel to the playing field and the wider community.
Campus ministry
Educating the heart
Distinctively Catholic and open to all, we help every student grow closer to God.
Spiritual formation means making time to build and deepen a relationship with God through prayer and reflection. Students come to know God through the Scriptures, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Catholic social teaching and Catholic moral principles.
Guided by the charism of the Congregation of Holy Cross, we form young people who carry their faith into lives of service.
The mind shall not be cultivated at the expense of the heart.
Blessed Basil Moreau, C.S.C.
