Crusader Mission
With St Michael the Archangel, Guardian of the Most Holy Eucharist as our leader, we will support and work towards the growth of Eucharistic Adoration in our home parishes and dioceses, never forgetting that prayer and sacrifice (especially fasting) are always the most important work we can do in this crusade.
Personal Holiness: Both St Bernard of Clairvaux and St Joan of Arc made their main life priority personal holiness through extreme prayer and sacrifice, regardless of the demands placed upon them. As we work towards growing Eucharistic Adoration, we must do the same. The time has come!
