The Confraternity of Our Lady of Fatima - Help Build a New Traditional Convent Church

The Mothers of the Holy Cross, a traditional Catholic congregation founded in Tanzania, needs your help to build a new convent church of Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration in the diocese of Passau, Germany. The church will be the heart of a new convent complex which includes a nursing home that provides the sick and elderly not only with professional healthcare but also an authentic Catholic environment, where residents receive the spiritual help and consolation of Catholic doctrine, the sacraments, and especially a worthy Catholic liturgy and opportunity to participate in Eucharistic Adoration."

Build the convent

The Mothers of the Holy Cross have been in Munich, Germany, since 1989. Their convent of 16 sisters and adjoining “Dorothea” nursing home are moving to a more rural setting in Lower Bavaria. Designed in keeping with traditional local architecture, the convent church will seat over 100 faithful and provide space for 24 residents in wheelchairs. Here the sisters will fulfill three essential aspects of their mission in Germany:

Preserving and promoting the Catholic Faith in Germany
Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration
Atonement for the sins of the world and for the poor souls in Purgatory.

“It will be a place of Christian charity, Catholic faith, and Eucharistic devotion, and that gives us hope for our time.” +Athanasius Schneider

Good measure, running over

Through their mission in Germany, the Mothers of the Holy Cross also support their life-giving apostolates in Tanzania and Brazil, as well as traditional priestly vocations to the male branch of the congregation, the Missionaries of the Holy Cross.

How it began...

In 1976 Sister Maria Stieren, born in Fürstenfeldbruck (Upper Bavaria) and formed as a Benedictine, founded a new religious community in Puma, Tanzania that became the first mission of the “Mothers and Missionaries of the Holy Cross.” From Puma the congregation grew and flourished to include an orphanage, hospital, and junior seminary in Gehandu and Dareda, Tanzania, the “Dorothea” nursing home in Munich, Germany, and a boarding school for orphaned and homeless children in Anápolis, Brazil.
