Our Presence

          ‘Animated by the apostolic zeal of the Founders, in less than 50 years after the foundation of our Congregation, the Sisters of the Cross, with undaunted courage, crossed frontiers to respond to the calls of the Church in Switzerland and India.

          The spirit of venturing forth to proclaim the Good News to unknown countries, particularly in Africa and Latin America, continued throughout the 20th century. Today we are present in 16 countries on 4 continents. Living together in international communities, sharing the richness of various cultures and getting involved in the concerns of the people in different nations, is a sign of the reign of God in the world.

          “We look upon humanity and the entire creation with love, respect and hope, trying to find there in the Father’s love which is always at work.” (ROL 2)
