Sisters of the Cross and Passion Part 3

The Congregation began small, a little seed sown in Manchester in 1851. But from the beginning Elizabeth dreamt of an international missionary congregation limited only by the limits of the earth. This was not achieved in her lifetime.

After her death only a handful of Sisters remained. But among them were exceptionally talented and inspired leaders. Numbers grew. New works were undertaken. Convents were opened throughout Lancashire and Yorkshire, Scotland and London. Sisters were missioned to make a foundation in Bulgaria in 1873 and in Ireland in 1878. The tide had turned.
