"My daughters,
you are not here for rest and enjoyment,
but to labor, to
suffer and to save
souls."
St. Teresa de Avila
The Apostolic Crusade was founded by Art and Lupe Garcia in January 1996, going on-line in March 1998. The Apostolic Crusade is a Catholic formation and resource center greatly attached to reverence for God and devotion to our Blessed Mother Mary and the saints. We promote Catholic Tradition as taught through the ages by the Roman Catholic Church, to include the Tridentine Mass (1962), as promulgated under the initiative (Motu Proprio) Summorum Pontificum issued by Pope Benedict XVI (July 7 2007) with the continued support of Ecclesia Dei (July 2 1988). As members of the Secular Discalced Carmelite Order, we embrace the Carmelite spirituality {New OCDS Constitutions (June 16 2003)}.

"Have no fear for what tomorrow
may bring. The same loving God who cares for you today
will take care of you tomorrow and every day. God will either
shield you from suffering or give you unfailing strength
to bear it. Be at peace, then, and put aside all anxious
thoughts and imaginations."
- St. Francis de Sales
