Who are the Sisters of the Holy Cross?

We are a Roman Catholic congregation of women religious, part of the international family of Holy Cross sisters, brothers and priests, who live out Jesus’ gospel and mission by ministering in many different ways to people around the globe.

How many members are in your Congregation?

Approximately 500 Holy Cross sisters minister in eight countries on four continents (Ghana, Uganda, Bangladesh, India, Mexico, United States, Brazil and Peru).

In what ways do you minister?

Sisters address unmet needs in many different cultures and settings. We minister in large hospitals and small outreach clinics; in elementary and secondary schools and universities; in churches and parishes; and in the streets of the inner city and remote rural areas of the world.

How can I participate in the mission of the Sisters of the Holy Cross?

You can join the Associates Program, which offers opportunities for women and men to participate in the spirit and service ministry of the Sisters of the Holy Cross in a formal way.

Our Volunteers play an important role in the lives of the sisters. Join us as a volunteer on the campus of Saint Mary’s, Notre Dame, Indiana.
