We are excited to announce a unique opportunity to again welcome five high school students from Le Mans, France, to our community this spring! These students, visiting as part of a cultural immersion program inspired by the rich legacy of the Holy Cross tradition, will be staying with us from February 14 to March 20, 2026.
During our recent Holy Cross Pilgrimage to France in October, we had the privilege of meeting these students and their Educators. We are truly impressed by their eagerness to experience our community and immerse themselves in our culture.
We are seeking host families to open their homes and hearts to these students. Hosting offers your family a wonderful cultural experience while fostering lifelong connections.
What Hosting Involves
-
Providing a welcoming home with meals and a comfortable space for the student.
-
Helping the student integrate into your family’s daily routines.
-
Offering transportation to and from school (or arranging carpooling if needed).
-
Sharing meaningful experiences to help them explore life in central Indiana.
Why Host?
-
Make a lasting contribution to the spirit of hospitality that defines the Cathedral and the Holy Cross mission.
-
Enrich your family’s cultural understanding by connecting with a student from the birthplace of Blessed Basil Moreau, founder of the Holy Cross tradition.
-
Create global connections that can last a lifetime.
Host families will receive a $500 stipend to help with expenses. We will also provide all necessary support to ensure this is a rewarding experience for both your family and the student. Please let me know if your family is interested in hosting and I will share additional details. Thank you for considering this opportunity to live out our Holy Cross values and extend your family’s hospitality to our friends from Le Mans!
