The Crosier Fathers and Brothers, also known as the Canons Regular of the Order of the Holy Cross, is a Roman Catholic religious order based in Phoenix, Arizona. The group serves in multiple ways within the Church and community, including daily Eucharist and Liturgy of the Hours, spiritual direction, and religious counseling, alongside programs such as a healing initiative for veterans and pastoral care for patients and jail inmates. Their activities extend to immigrant support, offering citizenship classes and coordinating pro bono legal services and direct-need assistance for eligible individuals, while they conduct retreats and contribute to parish life by assisting dioceses in Phoenix and St. Cloud with lay ministry formation and multicultural outreach. The organization also participates in healing Masses and novenas associated with St. Odilia, and fosters spiritual outreach through associations of lay and religious members, alongside collaborations with dioceses to support parish missions and broader faith community services. Based in Phoenix, the organization operates within the religious institutions industry, engaging with a diverse range of ministries and community services across diocesan contexts. A recent contextual development involves continued collaboration with dioceses to expand lay ministry formation and multicultural ministry within their regional reach.
