WHO WE ARE

The Silent Workers of the Cross (SODC) are an international Association recognized by the Pontifical Council for the Laity.

Members  are priests, brothers and sisters who live in Communities or with their families.  The Silent Workers of the Cross dedicate their lives to the suffering helping them to give meaning to their pain by uniting it with that of Christ’s.  They work directly with the diocesan groups promoting the diffusion of the Apostolate through pastoral workshops and in their own Rehabilitation Centers.  They have Communities in Europe, North America, South America, Africa and the Middle East.
