Holy Cross Sisters are a community of women religious who, along with our associates, seek to transform the challenge of today into hope by meeting the needs of our time. We embrace the ideals of St. Francis of Assisi and our founders.

The USA Province, as part of an international congregation dedicated to the cross of Christ, strives to live in solidarity with the poor, show compassion, and foster peace and reconciliation. Our ministries are as diversified as the gifts of our members.
