From a humble beginning of just 20 students in 1892, Holy Cross College has blossomed into a vibrant institution. Holy Cross College is a testament to the enduring power of education and faith. Located in the Sydney suburb of Ryde, Holy Cross College has been shaping young minds for over a century. The Patrician Brothers, founded by Bishop Daniel Delany in Ireland, established Holy Cross College in 1891. Originally a boarding school, it found its permanent home in 1896 on a site overlooking the Parramatta River. The iconic sandstone building that houses Holy Cross College is a local landmark. Holy Cross College celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2016, a testament to its long-standing presence in the community. The college’s motto, “In cruce salus” which means “In the Cross (is) Salvation”, reflects its strong Catholic roots. The school crest, designed in the early 1900s, further symbolizes this heritage. It features the Waratah and Shamrock entwined, representing the shared Patrician Apostolate of Australia and Ireland. Another version of the crest replaces the Harp with the Southern Cross, a nod to its Australian location. The crest is a “Quarterly per Cross” and “Cross Fillet” design, with stars denoting the Southern Cross. Each quarter holds symbolic meaning: the Bishop’s Mitre for Bishop Daniel Delany, the Heart for love of God and mankind, the Book of Learning for education, and the Harp (or Southern Cross) representing Ireland or Australia. Holy Cross College boasts an impressive list of alumni, many of whom have achieved significant success in various fields, including sports, politics, and religion. Archbishop Anthony Fisher of Sydney and numerous rugby league players are among its notable graduates. Holy Cross College continues to thrive, nurturing young men in the Patrician tradition of welcome, hospitality, hard work, and care for others.
