The Servants of the Sacred Cross

Is God calling you to a life of prayer and service?

SSC is an international, ecumenical religious sisterhood of laywomen, married and single, living and working in their own homes and communities under Vows of Simplicity, Purity and Obedience as Extern Sisters.

Conventual Sisters live an expression of traditional Religious Life in community, with a semi-contemplative ethos. This vocation is offered for unmarried women under the Vows of Poverty, Chastity and Obedience. * At the present time, Sacred Cross Convent has had to temporarily close due to lack of funds. When God is pleased to allow us to re-open, we will obediently do so. Thus, we continue to discern with inquirers to this expression of our life. Once sufficient financial support is available we pray to re-establish our Convent. In the meantime the number of Extern Sisters is growing rapidly.

Could God be calling you to serve Him within a traditional, conservative, Religious Community, committed to the historic Catholic Faith? Learn More ! [ contact us ]

SSC 10th Anniversary !!!!! The Servants of the Sacred Cross invite you to join them in prayer and thanksgiving as they celebrated the 10th Anniversary of their Founding on September 14, 2010, the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. At that time the Sisters were meeting in General Chapter.
Six new Postulants were received. A seventh Postulant was also recently received in Australia by the newly appointed Australian Provincial Superior. We now have members in four countries. The past year has been one of much growth and further evolution for our Community.
Due to the high priority of attending to the volume of work and growing number of inquirers and vocations, we were not able to produce a Lent 2010 newsletter. Many have been asking for our latest news and wondering about another newsletter. The Sisters invite you to enjoy the Advent 2010 issue of "The Way of the Cross" newsletter, below, which is a larger "Special Edition" in the year of SSC's 10th Anniversary.
