Dr. Louis Albarran, Associate Professor of Theology, Department
Chair, Holy Cross College

Joined the theology department at Holy Cross College in 2011 after teaching theology for four years in a Young Catholic Scholars program for a Newman Center. My areas of research and teaching focus on the intersection between faith and popular culture/music/movies, and faith and popular religion (the use of religious statues/medals/art in ordinary settings). I can’t wait to help our summer scholars learn to see how Jesus (the Logos) is hidden in many forms of media—even secular/non-religious media—and to help them learn about the benefits, as well as the unsuspected traps, for using media in evangelization and the new evangelization. When I’m not in the classroom, I can be found in the streets of South Bend playing old time American music with my two daughters and two sons on guitars, banjos, harmonicas, and violins.

Meigs Turgeon, Assistant Director, The Holy Cross Institute at St. Edward’s
University

Meigs Turgeon was born and raised in Dallas, TX, where he attended Highland Park High School. As a student at Highland Park, he developed a keen interest in philosophy, theology, and apologetics, feeling a strong call to pursue these academic interests in a Catholic setting. He enrolled at St. Edward’s University in August of 2012, where he majored in Religious and Theological Studies and minored in Psychology. Meigs focused his studies on Second Temple Judaism, apocalyptic literature, disability hermeneutics, and the pastoral treatment of the mentally ill. As an undergrad, he developed a love of research and writing, which led him to present academic papers at professional conferences around Texas on four occasions. He was also actively involved with Campus Ministry, where he served as president of Pax Christi, moderated interfaith dialogue events, and participated in numerous Service Break Experiences. He graduated in May of 2016. As a result of his studies and involvement in Campus Ministry, Meigs felt a strong vocation to serve the church. To better prepare himself for this task, he matriculated to Duke Divinity School in August of 2017 to pursue a Master of Divinity. At Duke, he grew in his love for theology, Scripture, and social justice, specializing in Catholic eschatology, the interpretation of the Greek New Testament, and the intersectionality of race, gender, religion, and politics in contemporary American society. In addition to his studies, Meigs underwent ministerial formation and training; over the course of his degree program, he served in a rural United Methodist church, taught in Ugandan parochial schools, and worked for an urban interfaith non-profit based in Durham, NC. He graduated from Duke Divinity School in May of 2020. Following the completion of his Master of Divinity, Meigs returned to his hometown of Dallas to teach high school theology. Meigs was first exposed to Holy Cross during his undergraduate years at St. Edward’s. Holy Cross helped him to fall in love with learning and inspired him to get involved in the work of education and the service of the church. With Basil Moreau, he considers education to be an essential work of resurrection, and he wishes to help educators and students understand what it means to bear the title of Holy Cross. He hopes to bring zeal, vision, and a unique theological perspective to the Holy Cross Institute.

of the Christian Schools, District of Eastern North America

Brother Ernest Miller, FSC, currently serving as the Vice-President for Mission, Diversity, and Inclusion at La Salle University in Philadelphia, to be the founding Director of this project. Brother Ernest’s passion for teaching and learning, his competence as an outstanding classroom teacher, his Lasallian scholarship and commitment to our Gospel-centered mission ensure that the program will have a solid beginning. I am most grateful for Ernest’s willingness to give up a position he finds very satisfying to take on the challenge of creating a new and important initiative in our District. We are making a significant commitment of both our limited human and financial resources to this project. I am most grateful to an anonymous Brother who has already made a significant contribution of his patrimony to support this initiative. His support is a sign of confidence in the relevance of our charism in today’s world. The encounter those three centuries ago between Adrien Nyel and John Baptist de La Salle began a story that continues to unfold and adapt to the challenges of the times. There are young people who, like the Founder, will be inspired to alter previously planned life directions in favor of a Gospel adventure that favors the Reign of God. Let us all pray that this new endeavor will stir the hearts of young men and women of good will to begin a journey to see the joy that comes from being a Catholic school teacher.
