We are a Lay Apostolate of men and women who love our priests through the Immaculate Heart of Our Blessed Mother. We stand with Our Lady beneath the Cross of Jesus, in prayer and in reparation for our priests.
"... No words I can use would be too strong to state that the Catholic priesthood needs prayer and sacrifice as never before since Calvary ..."
~ Servant of God, Father John A. Hardon, SJ
The prayer cenacle meets the first Thursday of every month at 6:00 PM before the Tabernacle. Late arrival is okay, especially if you are coming from work; the Church will be open for prayer until 8:00 PM.

Beneath His Cross is now in Colorado. A wonderful woman named Lynn heard Yolanda Rodriguez (the founder of Beneath His Cross) speaking on an EWTN Radio show and she felt the call to bring Beneath His Cross to her parish, St. John the Baptist; their pastor, Fr. Humberto Marquez has been added to our prayer intentions in our newly printed prayer booklets
Also, Yolanda recently met with her Bishop, the Most Reverend David G. O'Connell from the Archdiocese of Los Angeles and he has offered his support to provide the funding needed to pursue establishing Beneath His Cross as a non-profit organization which would certainly help in growing this small apostolate. Bishop O'Connell also asked Yolanda to make enough copies so that every priest in his diocese will be given a Beneath His Cross prayer booklet, in the hopes they will each receive the fervent prayers that every priest needs for so many reasons.
Last month, Yolanda was welcomed by the Carmelites in her area to attend a Priest Appreciation Dinner where she provided the forty priests in attendance with a Beneath His Cross Prayer Booklet. One priest who spoke to her about the apostolate broke down in tears, hugging her many times and thanking her over and over because he was so moved and grateful to know that he was being prayed for in this way.
