Welcome to the OCSE! The OCSE is the place to find information on...

The OCSE resides within the Division for Mission of Saint Mary's College. Our programming is built on the three legs of Catholic Social Teaching, the writings and reflections of Blessed Father Anthony Basil Moreau, CSC (founder of the Family of Holy Cross), and the mission of the Sisters of the Holy Cross. Through all we do, the OCSE attempts to speak for the voiceless, practice solidarity, and live the Gospel through acts of love.

Christ has no body now on earth but yours, no feet but yours, no hands but yours.
Yours are the eyes through which the compassion of Christ is to look out on a hurting world.
Yours are the feet with which he is to go about doing good.
Yours are the hands with which he is to bless all now.
-- Saint Teresa of Avila
