We are Crosiers – vowed men called to embrace and proclaim the Cross of Jesus Christ through our lives of community, prayer and ministry to help the people of God find hope in suffering and joy amidst struggle. We are members of the Canons Regular of the Order of the Holy Cross, one of the Roman Catholic Church’s oldest orders of religious men.  We are dedicated to the Spirituality of the Cross which is expressed in our name, "Order of the Holy Cross". This spirituality is rooted in the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus.

We Crosiers ‘Live for God Alone…Together’ as we follow the Rule of St. Augustine in our community life. Our “being” Crosier together, our fidelity to the public celebration of the liturgy of the Church, and our rich contemplative prayer life form a substantial part of our ministry to the Church. Our modeling of unity, love, and reconciliation together through the ups and downs of our communal lives creates a living ministry and witness to the world. Crosiers minister out of our community life with diverse gifts to various needs of the Church and society, including education, chaplain service and pastoral ministry.

The U.S. Province of this international Order of priests and brothers is headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. Crosier communities are located in Onamia, Minnesota and Phoenix, Arizona. The international headquarters is in Rome, and Crosiers also live and serve in several locations in Europe, Brazil, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Indonesia.
