Holy Cross was founded at Pomfret, Connecticut, in 1937 to educate men for priestly vocation. A decade later, Holy Cross relocated to Brookline, Massachusetts. By the 1950s, it was evident that the clergy of the Greek Orthodox Church in America needed to hold accredited educational credentials equivalent to those held by their counter-parts serving other sectarian denominations or religious traditions. Hellenic College, Inc. is a center of higher education founded by, associated with and supported by the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America.
