Letter from the PresidentThis issue of Connections represents values that are integral to

Holy Cross College—the importance of relationship, community,

and yes, connection to each other. When we stopped publica-

tion of the magazine several years ago, that decision was hard to

make, but it was essential given the transition that Holy Cross

was going through at the time.

Now we have successfully emerged from that period and

the College has expanded with our second highest enrollment.

Physical changes are also happening on campus, as we build a

new residential facility, reconfigure our campus to create a quadrangle in the center of

campus, and remove the parking lot.

Most importantly, we heard from you, our alumni, friends and parents. You told us

that although you feel connected—through campus events, letters, student videos, and

online media—you have missed the Connections magazine. The magazine is back; we

hope you enjoy its return and will let us know how we are doing.

In this issue we highlight the Global Experience, one of the Four Pillar Experiences at

Holy Cross College. Please take time to read about the transformational impact the global

community has had on our students, staff, and faculty, in the classroom, on the athletic

field, and abroad. On June 25, the College will host its first gala, Through the Eyes of Faith,

which will support global immersion trips for our students and the Center for Global

Perspectives. I look forward to seeing many of you at the gala.

Now that we have reinstated Connections, I am committed to continuing this tradition.

Thank you for being a part of the Holy Cross community and may God bless you.

Sincerely,

Br. John R. Paige, C.S.C., PhD

Crossing Borders, Building Relationships

“Our first task in approaching another people, another culture,

another religion, is to take off our shoes—for the place

we are approaching is holy.” – Max Warren

E ach time I meet a group of Holy Cross College

students who are preparing to travel with the Center

for Global Perspectives, I have a keen sense of the

significance of the work that lies ahead. Amid the

mixture of anxiety and excitement is an emerging spirit

of adventure—a palpable readiness to be changed by

the approaching experience. Recognizing and talking

about the transformation that occurs when we travel

to the developing world is challenging. Upon our

return it is difficult to find the right words to describe

how the people we met and the stories we heard have

impacted us. We can agree that we now see the world

differently. More importantly, we see ourselves as part

of something larger, and a new perspective begins to

deepen our identity as global citizens. This is the Holy

Cross Experience—sending our students across borders

of all kinds where they gain the competence to see and

the courage to act.

The Global Encounter experience, once called

“Through the Eyes of Faith,” began in 2000 as a campus

ministry trip. The original intent was to enter into the

simple rhythm of the Holy Cross Brothers’ community

life, to witness their faithful response to God’s call and

to see the universality of the Catholic Church in action.

When the College moved forward with the Bachelor

of Arts in Liberal Studies degree, the global experi-

ence became a core requirement; later the Center for

Global Perspectives was established and an academic

focus emerged. In the past 15 years, the college’s mis-

sion to form global citizens has found its home among

the people of Ghana, Brazil, India, Peru, and Uganda.

Three hundred and eighty-seven Holy Cross students

have taken a leap of faith, packed their bags, and found

themselves in the villages and neighborhoods of the

emerging world.

Global solidarity, the complexity and challenges of a

global economy, education, equality, and environmental

concerns were added to studying the Church’s evange-

lization efforts in Africa, Asia, Central and South Amer-

ica. Knowing someone’s name, sharing their table, and

gathering together in prayer removes the boundaries

and makes the borders that separate us less of a hurdle

to overcome and more of a place where compassion and

healing build relationships. Whenever our hearts are

changed, it is a sacred moment; wherever that happens,

it is holy ground.


The Holy Cross College men’s

soccer team has set the bar high

for Saints athletics, winning on the

field and blending student-athletes

from many different cultures. The

current roster is made up of players

from 10 different countries spanning

five continents. From Ecuador to

South Korea, the men’s soccer team

fosters an environment of cultural acceptance and

appreciation in the locker room.

The Saints have translated this multicultural

approach to success with three consecutive winning

seasons and three straight trips to the Chicagoland

Collegiate Athletic Conference Tournament. Head

Coach Omar Gallo has developed the Saints into a

team with a winning reputation. “Different cultures

have different styles of play, and we encourage our guys

to embrace the different styles of fellow teammates,”

says Coach Gallo. “The multicultural backgrounds

also allow individuals from around the world to

build unique friendships and find what they have in

common. These friendships go well beyond the soccer

field, but are clearly seen on the pitch during games.

You play harder when you are playing for a friend.”

The players gravitate to the Holy Cross program

because of the diversity on the roster. Sophomore

Anesu Tabengwa came to Holy Cross College from

St. Andrews, Scotland, on the advice of a former

international Saints player, Alex Clarke. “I was put

in contact with my former (club team) captain and

now good friend Alex, who helped

me see the vision behind the men’s

soccer program. He sold me on his

incredible experience at Holy Cross

College and described it as a place

where you will meet people from

across the globe, enjoy playing your

sport, and find your true calling in

life, all at the same time.”

In some cases players come from countries where

English is not their first language, but the Holy Cross

staff and faculty have become exceptional at helping

students adapt. “At first it was a little hard to adjust

because I had to learn the language better,” says junior

forward Alfredo Molestina of Guayaquil, Ecuador.

“But the people here were very helpful. Now I know

I am getting a really good education and the campus

community has been great.”

Jonghyun Son from South Korea wants young

people from his country to consider Holy Cross. “If

they come here to get their higher education, they will

be able to pursue being professional soccer players and

use their knowledge from Holy Cross College for their

life.”

Coach Gallo believes the size of the school and

the welcoming Holy Cross community makes the

difference. “As a Canadian international, I can relate

quite easily to our international players. The transition

seems to be much easier as these kids aren’t just

another number at this school, but given personalized

attention to succeed.”

Mark your calendar for June 25! Holy

Cross College is pleased to host its first

gala, Through the Eyes of Faith. This event

will support Holy Cross students participating in the

Global Perspectives Program. With your support, we

can ensure that our students will have the funds to

travel internationally on a global immersion experience.

Each year Holy Cross College sends about 24 students

abroad to communities in Brazil, Ghana, India, Peru,

and Uganda.

At Holy Cross, education is a holistic experience,

and we seek to engage the mind, body, and spirit.

Students are part of a close-knit community and

collaborate in programs designed to enhance their

competence to see and courage to act. The short-term

global immersion trips are hosted by the Congregation

of Holy Cross communities of priests, brothers, and

sisters, and provide students with the opportunity to

experience what they have studied in the classroom

by participating in the culture. By the time they return

to campus, our students are able to evaluate how

other cultures perceive them, and they gain a new

appreciation for their own opportunities.

In this inaugural year of what will be a biennial

event, Holy Cross College will present Daniel B.

Fitzpatrick, President and Chief Executive Officer of

Quality Dining, Inc., with the 2015 Fidelis Award.

This award is given to an individual who exemplifies

a “life lived in faith.” We will also present The Center

for Hospice Care with the 2015 Service Organization

Award. Both of our honorees have made significant

contributions to the greater Michiana community and

deserve this recognition. The gala will be held at the

Gillespie Center at the Hilton Garden Inn.

We hope alumni and friends will join us for this

special evening. For more information on the gala

and to purchase tickets, please call the College

Relations office at (574) 239-8368 or register at

Following the completion of my junior year at Holy Cross College, I had the opportunity to

travel abroad to Uganda, Africa. Being a Holy Cross student allows you opportunities that no

other institution can provide. Deciding to take my global perspective trip to Uganda was one of

the most profound experiences of my life. Immersing myself into a different culture gave me the

opportunity to develop relationships with, and a better understanding of, individuals in a third-

world African country.

This experience enabled me to come back to the United States and be thankful for the blessings

I have in my life. Thus, I am appreciative to Holy Cross College for providing me the opportunity

to grow as a leader academically and spiritually through this global perspective trip.

“My students always rose to the challenge.”– Br. John Tryon, C.S.C.


B r. John Tryon, C.S.C., began teaching

at Holy Cross College in 1999, but a

providential encounter and his openness to

the divine providence of God changed his

path. In December 2014, Br. John moved

from Holy Cross College in Indiana to a

Holy Cross community with the novice

community members in Peru.

Br. John was at the South Bend airport

to meet a C.S.C. brother when someone

yelled, “John Tryon!” He turned around,

and there stood Fr. John Phelan, a C.S.C.

priest he had not seen in years. Fr. Phelan

had recently been appointed novice master for South

American and Mexican brothers, and he shared the

news about his placement with Br. John.

In August 2014, Br. John was preparing his syllabi

for the fall semester when Fr. Phelan invited Br. John

to join him as assistant novice master in Peru. “You

know, if Fr. Phelan’s plane had never been late, we

never would have talked about Peru, and my name

would not have come to mind.” Br. John prayed about

the invitation, talked to his provincial, and spoke with

College president, Br. John Paige, who gave him his

blessing.

When I spoke with Br. John Tryon, some of his

fondest memories were of the Holy Cross College

students. Br. John’s courses were always popular,

perhaps because his final exams included a homemade

meal and book discussion, often hosted at Br. John’s

residence. Any student who was blessed to learn in one

of Br. John’s classes can tell you that they were not

easy; students were required to read at least 60-100

pages of reading daily and pass detailed quizzes about

the text. He is known for challenging students and

encouraging academic excellence. “They will rise to

your expectations,” Br. John says of his students. “My

students always rose to the challenge.”

Shortly after arriving in Peru, Br. John learned

that rather than remaining at the novitiate, he would

temporarily move to teach English at a high school and

tutor deacons and aspirants of the congregation.

Br. John will return to the novitiate in January 2016,

when a new group of novices arrives. Holy Cross

College will always have a profound place in his heart,

and if his service to the College is any indication, he will

become an involved member of his new community.
