The Holy Cross Chapter of the Cardinal Newman Society has recently increased its efforts to preserve the Catholic character of Holy Cross with additions to its website, hccns.org and with extensive mailings to the Class of 2007 and 2008. The Society is comprised of thousands of Holy Cross Alumnus, Students, Faculty, and Friends who "admire the progress the College has made in many ways, but are deeply concerned about the extent of its secularization. They support appropriate measures to correct that condition and preserve Holy Cross’ Catholic character; they support the re-establishment of a core of studies in philosophy and religion."
The Cardinal Newman Society, although not legally affiliated with the College, works with the Board of Trustees and President Michael McFarland, SJ to secure its goals. The Newman Society supports The Fenwick Review, the independent voice of faith and reason at the College of the Holy Cross. The Society reviews activities at the College to ensure they prescribe to the College's true mission. Surprisingly, Fr. McFarland, although not a full participant, supports the efforts of the Cardinal Newman Society at Holy Cross. The Society enjoys the support of numerous Catholic Colleges and Universities and from various firms and institutions. The great Avery Cardinal Dulles, SJ is a supporter of the Newman Society and uses his post at Fordham University to discuss relevant topics with his counterparts at Holy Cross.
