​Holy Cross Heritage Month is a terrific time to pray with the many Holy Cross heroes. Initiate a novena for the canonization of members of the Holy Cross Congregation on the journey to sainthood, celebrate a special liturgy throughout the month, or simply include the Holy Cross Heritage Month in daily prayer.

Ways to PRAY:

• Pray the Heritage Month Prayer daily -- as a class, as a staff, as a family, as a parish community.
  
• Schedule a special liturgy or prayer service for one of the Holy Cross feasts in January:
  • ​January 6 - Feast of St. Andre Bessette, CSC
  • January 9 - Birthday of Venerable Patrick Peyton, CSC'
  • January 20 - Feast of Blessed Basil Moreau, CSC
  • January 29 - Anniversary of the Death of Mother Mary of the Seven Dolors
• Pray a novena for the canonization of a member of the Holy Cross Congregation.
• As we continue prayers for the canonization of founder Blessed Basil Moreau, start a novena that can be said during morning or afternoon prayers. This could also be a special project within religion classes. Click here for a guide.
