People of the Holy Cross Institute

Executive Director. At the helm of the institute, Brother Stephen Walsh, CSC, draws on broad experience as a Holy Cross educator, board member and planning and development consultant. Read about his background and vision. 

Board of Governors. Comprising lay and religious, male and female, this leadership team embodies the collaborative spirit that has imbued our educators from the beginning. Drawn from Holy Cross schools, colleges and universities, the governors represent the institute’s key sponsors, the three North American provinces of the Congregation of Holy Cross and St. Edward’s University:

Eastern Province

  • Gail Belluci, Campus Minister, Notre Dame High School, West Haven, Conn.
  • Brother Jerome Donnelly, CSC, president, Holy Cross High School, Waterbury, Connecticut

Midwest Province

  • Brother Ken Haders, CSC, president, Archbishop Hoban High School, Akron, Ohio
  • Brother Robert E. Lavelle, CSC, headmaster, Gilmour Academy, Gates Mills, Ohio

South-West Province

  • Brother Richard Daly, CSC, Provincial Councilor
  • Patricia Geister, former principal, Moreau Catholic High School, Hayward, Calif.

St. Edward’s University

  • Sister Donna Jurick, SND, executive vice president
    and provost
  • Robert Lueger, associate provost

The place from which we lead. The campus of St. Edward’s University became the home for Holy Cross Institute based on:

  • The leadership of South-West Province schools in addressing common issues from a mission perspective.
  • The support, both philosophical and financial,
    of President George E. Martin.
  • The rich diversity of St. Edward’s, which reflects the
    family of Holy Cross schools and their commitment to provide educational access to all.
  • The shared goal of university and institute: to renew and expand the spirit of Holy Cross.
