EDUCATION POLICY OF THE SISTERS OF THE CROSS, PROVINCE OF AMRAVATI

The congregation of the Sisters of the Cross of Chavanod was founded by Claudine Echernier in 1838. Aimed at being witnesses of the gospel in their milieu, it is engaged in a variety of ministeries, of which education is one of its most significant activities since its foundation inn India in 1886. It was Claudine Echernier's vision to reveal to all the merciful love of the father and the liberating power of the mystery of Jesuus dead and risen. (Rule of life 4.4). We have thus, from our origins received from the Father, a special call to participate in the mystery of Jesus dead and risen in the mission in the world for the salvation of all (Rule of life).
