Christ the Priest Region

The Apostleship of the Cross is organized by Regions:

1. Christ the Priest
    Region
2. Province of Mexico
    Region
3. Felix de Jesus Region
4. Conchita Cabrera de

All groups of the Apostleship of the Cross in the United States are part of the Christ the Priest Region and, in order to facilitate the coordination and animation of the Region, they are divided into Areas.

Areas are sets of interrelated Centers, grouped, in most cases, by their geographical proximity.

Serving each Area will be a Lay Representative and a Missionary of the Holy Spirit Representative.

Currently there are three areas:

Areas	Location of Centers
Northwest Area	Oregon, Washington
Southwest Area	California
South-Northeast Area	Texas, Florida, New York

Adopt a Priest and pray for his sanctification

"...I want souls who are dedicated with fervor, with determination and without looking for rest, to plead day and night for My priests" Jesus to Venerable Servant of God Concepcion Cabrera de Armida

The Apostleship of the Cross, a Ministry centered on the Priesthood of Christ and His Priestly people, invites you to spend a Holy Hour of Adoration to pray for priests.

We want to invite all people to participate in this apostolate by adopting a priest, and offer prayers and sacrifices for their sanctification.

Our priests need our prayerful support of their ministry to accomplish the mission God has given them.

"May this new jubilee year be a propitious occasion to reflect on the value and importance of the priestly mission and to ask the Lord to make a gift of many priests to his Church." Benedict XVI

"The world ran away from the Cross because it saw only the side of pain or repugnance. That is why the Cross of the Apostolate is now presented – that is, the Cross with My Heart – to tell people that the cross is never alone, that the Heart of God, His mercy, and His love are always nailed to it in an inseparable way” (Conchita’s Diary: 3,37).	A new Pentecost after consecration of the universe to the Holy Spirit "One day not too far away, at the center of My Church, at Saint Peter's, there will take place the consecration of the world to the Holy Spirit, and the graces of this Divine Spirit, will be showered on the blessed Pope who will make it. It is My desire that the universe be consecrated to the Divine Spirit that He may spread Himself over the earth in a new Pentecost." (Diary, March 11, 1928)
