A Community of Contemplative Benedictine Monks in the City
The Monastery of the Holy Cross is a Roman Catholic, Benedictine Monastery of the Subiaco Cassinese Congregation. Continuing a centuries-old tradition, we live according to the Rule of St. Benedict, seeking God through a life of prayer, silence, work and hospitality.
Both Mass and the Divine Office are open to the public. Mass is at 6:35 a.m. Monday–Saturday, and 10:00 a.m. Sunday. To view our complete prayer schedule, click here
We are completing our second album of sacred music, Mass for the Solemnity of the Ascension of Our Lord. For more details, please visit our Indiegogo account.
We want to pray for you!
