“Then the LORD said:  Go out and stand on the mountain before the LORD; the LORD will pass by.  There was a strong and violent wind rending the mountains and crushing rocks before the LORD—but the LORD was not in the wind; after the wind, an earthquake—but the LORD was not in the earthquake; after the earthquake, fire—but the LORD was not in the fire; after the fire, a still small voice.  When he heard this, Elijah hid his face in his cloak and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave…” (1 Kings 19:11-13)

HISTORY of Our Lady of the Cross Chapter of Magnificat

The Las Cruces, New Mexico Lady of the Cross Chapter was organized in 2006 by Olivia McDonald.  With the guidance of our Blessed Mother, she saw the potential of the chapter.  Through her planning and hard work, she saw her vision through to its completion.  She became our first Chapter Coordinator and continued in that role for many years.

Magnificat – A Ministry to Catholic Women

Since its humble beginning in New Orleans in 1981, Magnificat has become an international outreach to women that has touched thousands of lives. It has spread to over 105 chapters encompassing the United States, the Caribbean Islands, Canada, Malta, Poland, Ireland, Dominica and Uganda.
