Holy Cross College — at Its Civic Position

The exact page text, read by your browser's voice.

1966 – present

The position, stated plainly: Holy Cross College likewise stands in the Notre Dame CDP, not in South Bend, and is printed here at the same boundary size as Saint Mary's. The Brothers of Holy Cross opened it in 1966, at Notre Dame, as a two-year college to educate the members of their own order. It has since opened its doors to lay men and women, and stands today as a four-year Catholic liberal arts college beside the university and Saint Mary's — the third of the three Holy Cross institutions on the ground north of the city, each founded by a different branch of the one congregation.
