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.
