Companions of the Cross
About the Companions of the Cross | Daily Schedule | Contact Info
The Companions of the Cross is a community of priests and
seminarians. Although we have our roots and home in the Archdiocese of
Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, we believe the vision the Lord has given us
is something he wants us to share with the wider Church. We have
recently established new foundations of the community in Toronto,
Ontario; Houston, Texas; and Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Finding our strength in the brotherhood that community affords us, we have a profound devotion to the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ and the power and wisdom that flows from it. We surrender to the Lord, individually and personally, daily, in and through his Holy Mother. Our essential mission is to evangelize in the many apostolic works that we do, whether they be in parishes, other more specialized works, or with the poor and alienated. In our life together we try to live simply, detached from material things. Our prayer and ministry is, at times, characterized as being 'charismatic' and 'Eucharistic' in both style and focus. We are committed to cooperating with the bishops of the dioceses we are in, as well as always seeking to think according to the mind of the Church.
 It is our fond and prayerful hope that the Companions of the Cross can play even a small part in the renewal of the Church as surely desired by the Lord and enunciated clearly at the outset of the Second Vatican Council by His Holiness, Pope John XXIII: "Send upon the Church again, 0 Lord, as at the beginning, the fullness of your Holy Spirit - a new Pentecost for our day." And just as the entire assemblage of bishops responded "Amen', so do we. Come, Holy Spirit!
