Holy Cross educators reaffirm commitment to marginalized students in Bangladesh

Holy Cross brothers, priests, and sisters from the St. Joseph Province in Bangladesh met at the St. Joseph Provincial House in Dhaka on Oct. 9 to discuss their educational mission. The seminar focused on how educators can better serve young people through faith, compassion, and a preference for marginalized students.

The group assessed their academic and pastoral work across the country, focusing on Holy Cross pedagogy and educator formation. Discussions centered on the theme of educators in the faith and their option for the underprivileged, reflecting the Church's call to prioritize the poor and vulnerable.

Representatives from the Holy Cross General Administration guided the sessions: Second General Assistant Br. Prodip Placid Gomes, C.S.C., Third General Assistant Fr. Andrew Gawrych, C.S.C., and Fourth General Assistant Br. Bertrand Nee Wayoe, C.S.C. Participants revisited the vision of Blessed Basil Moreau, the founder of the Congregation of Holy Cross, regarding education as a tool for restoring hope through faith.
