Honor Holy Cross with a Lasting Gift
The Sisters of the Holy Cross offer a few options to provide memorable and lasting gifts. Read on to learn how you can add a loved one's name to the Book of Remembrance.
Book of Remembrance
The Moreau Remembrance Garden was dedicated in 2008 to honor the Beatification of Holy Cross Founder Blessed Basil Anthony Moreau. The garden is filled with native flowering plants that bloom from spring to fall. Yet even in winter there is solemn beauty.
It is here, in this sacred and serene garden at Saint Mary’s, Notre Dame, Indiana, that the Congregation’s Book of Remembrance rests, containing the names of loved ones honored and memorialized with the Sisters of the HolyCross. Those whose names are written in the book are remembered in the Prayers of the Faithful during the liturgies at the church.
To add a Name to the Book of Remembrance
You can support the sisters when you have your name, or the name of a loved one, engraved* in the Moreau Garden Book of Remembrance.
For each name listed we ask for a minimum donation of $200. You may include up to 42 characters and spaces, including punctuation, for your entry in the book.
* The names of those honored or memorialized will be updated at least annually.
We encourage you to consider this special way of remembering someone who touches or has touched your life. Many have chosen to remember a Holy Cross sister who left a lasting impact on their lives.
Send us the name of the individual or individuals you would like to honor or memorialize, and we will ensure they are placed in our Book of Remembrance. We simply ask you to consider a donation of$200 or more per name, which will support the sisters’ retirement needs and our Ministry With the Poor Fund.
