His Brother’s Keeper
Broderick Johnson ’78 made the journey from The Hill to Capitol Hill, and then to the Obama White House. Along the way, his priority has always been to give back to others.

Going the Way of the Dodo

Holy Cross alumni live the mission of Dorothy Day’s movement to help the poor, from serving in Catholic Worker houses across the country to advocating for her sainthood
By Elizabeth Walker

Be Holy Cross.
Alumni CEOs came together for a symposium on “The Value and Relevancy of a Jesuit Education in the 21st Century” on campus in April. The values they discussed, which took them to the height of their careers, are qualities that all alumni carry with them after leaving Holy Cross; values that enable us all to live the mission of men and women for and with others.
By Rebecca Smith ’99 and Kimberly Staley ’99

The Berrigans and Holy Cross
In this installment of the series celebrating our 50th volume, we look back at coverage of Rev. Daniel Berrigan, S.J., and Philip Berrigan ’50 in the Holy Cross Quarterly, a predecessor of Holy Cross Magazine. The brothers were well-known peace activists in the 1960s and 1970s and the Holy Cross Quarterly published “the Berrigan issue” in 1971, followed by another issue entirely dedicated to responses from readers about the Berrigans and their activism.
By David O’Brien, Loyola Professor of Catholic Studies Emeritus

The Profile: Amanda Gonzalez ’11
At 27, Amanda Gonzalez puts an unexpectedly young face on heart disease. Yet, as a national spokesperson for the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women team, the Worcester native has traveled the country to share her remarkable story of heartbreak, hope and healing. At 17, she had a heart attack, just months before starting at Holy Cross.
By Elizabeth Walker
