"I would like to say something about the irreplaceable contribution of women in building a world that is a home for everyone. A woman is the one who makes the world beautiful, who protects it and keeps it alive. She brings the grace that renews things, the embrace that includes everyone, and the courage to give herself.

Peace is woman. It is born and reborn from the tenderness of mothers. Therefore, the dream of peace becomes real by looking at women.

It is no coincidence that in the story of Genesis, woman is taken from the rib of man while he sleeps. That is to say, a woman has her origin close to the heart and in sleep, during dreams. Therefore, she brings into the world the dream of love.

If we care about the future, if we dream of a future of peace, we must give space to women." -POPE FRANCIS-

Our Story

HISTORY OF OUR CONGREGATION

The FRANCISCAN SISTERS ADORERS OF THE HOLY CROSS (FSAHC) is a Third Order Regular of Saint Francis of Assisi founded by Venerable Mo. Maria Luigia Velotti of the Blessed Sacrament in the year 1877. The Diocesan Law grant the recognition to the Congregation in 1939 and the Law of Pontifical approval in 1957.

The PURPOSE of the Congregation is the sanctification of the members in perfect charity through the profession and observance of the Evangelical Counsel (Chastity, Poverty and Obedience) according to the rule of the Third Order Regular of St. Francis of Assisi and the present constitution of the Congregation and the commitment to the works of charity and of apostolate according to the teaching of the Foundress, giving preferential treatment to the most humble, the needy and the marginal people.

The CHARISM of the Congregation is centered on the mystery of the Eucharist and on the Cross. As Ven. Mo. Maria Luigia Velotti had always centered Jesus in her life, so does she admonish her daughters to put Jesus in the center of their mission life. This charism, therefore, must arduously fulfill the significance of the Passion of Christ through the love for one’s fellowmen and the gift of one’s life to all.
