School of the Cross 

​​Spirituality
To live the intimate emotions experienced in Christ’s heart when crucified. It gives an answer to the Church's urgent need for mature lay leaders committed to proclaiming the message of salvation, collaborating with the Church engendering communities of apostles who communicate the Spirit of the Cross with their own lives, dedicated to Christ and his Church specially to the priest.

History
The school of the Cross was born in the rural parish of San Isidro Labrador, in the dioceses of Villahermosa Tabasco in Mexico. On the 10th of January of 1965, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, Father Javier Ascencio Dávalos, professor from the congregation of missionaries of the Holy Spirit. The group quickly spread across almost one thousand dioceses and in almost every diocese in the country. In 1987, by ecclesiastical authority it was made a sort of association for faithful and some years after this it was introduced in North America. On May 22, 1994, the Pontifical Council for the laity decreed the erection of the school of the cross as an international association of faithful under the Pontifical Actions.
