Blessed Basil Moreau, C.S.C. (February 11, 1799 – January 20, 1873) was the French priest who founded the Congregation of Holy Cross from which three additional congregations were founded, namely the Marianites of Holy Cross, the Sisters of the Holy Cross, and the Sisters of Holy Cross. Father Moreau was beatified on September 15, 2007 in Le Mans, France.
Today we celebrate 150th Anniversary of Blessed Basil Moreau entering eternal life. May Blessed Basil Moreau, founder of the Congregations of Holy Cross, intercede for us in our plans.
