Our Ministries
Discerning The Signs Of The Times...
Where We Are In The English Province
Daughters of the Cross are located in Haslemere, Cheam, Tracy, California, St Elizabeth's Centre and Stillorgan, Ireland.
The USA (California) is also part of the English Province. In addition to the English Province, you will also find the Daughters of the Cross in Belgium, Brazil, Cameroon, Germany, India, Italy, Nepal and Pakistan.
Blessed Marie Thérèse, our foundress, died in 1876 but her example of dynamic courage and joy-filled service still inspires the Daughters of the Cross throughout the world. Like her, we never separate the love of God from the love of God's people.
Responding to the needs of the times, the Sisters undertake ministries in education, special education, health care in hospitals, hospices and dispensaries, in the care of the elderly, and of those suffering from epilepsy, in marriage counselling and in varied forms of parish work.

Since our foundation, the Daughters of the Cross have discerned the signs of the times and responded to immediate needs. You will find new developments which have come about in response to the particular needs of today, just as they did in the time of Blessed Marie Thérèse.
