About the Companions of the Cross…

Fr. Ben is a member of a new community of Roman Catholic priests called the “Companions of the Cross”. We were founded in Ottawa, Canada in 1985, and established as a society of Apostolic life in 2003.

We are committed to living and ministering together as brothers in the Lord. God has called us to labour for the renewal of the Church through a dynamic evangelization centered upon Christ crucified, who is God’s power and wisdom. Spurred on by the love of God, we desire all people to come into the fullness of life through a personal and ongoing encounter with Jesus Christ.

Out of love, we embrace a spirituality of God’s power and wisdom, a life of true brotherhood, and a mission of evangelization and renewal.
