CALLED TO TEACH

From the initial days of our institute, the Education apostolate has been an area of engagement. Our Founder first founded the Teaching Sisters of the Holy Cross in Menzingen. With time due to the emerging needs in society, being a man of vision who understood well the signs of the times, Father Theodosius founded another community known as the Sisters of Mercy of the Holy Cross, engaged in works of mercy. From among the Teaching Sisters, Sr. Maria Theresia was called to oversee the hospital in Chur. She later became the General Superior and co-founder of the Sisters of Mercy of the Holy Cross.

"Every child under the sun is my brother or sister." Fr. Theodosius Florentini OFM Cap

The Sisters of Mercy of the Holy Cross entered the educational field in Kikyusa, Kasana- Luweero diocese with the handing over of the administration of St. Kizito Primary School by the diocese to the Sisters in the year 2003. It has developed and stretched its branches in different parts of Uganda and Kenya.
