About the school: The Congregation of the Sisters of the Cross, founded in 1838, owes its origin to a humble young lady from Savoy, France, Claudine Echernier by name. Born on the 29th of May 1801, at Feternes a rural parish at Savoy, in a family richer in faith than in possessions, Claudine evinced from her young age a most astonishing thirst for knowledge and a great spiritual sensibility. Gripped by a deep personal love for Jesus Christ crucified, she responded to God’s call, after a hard life in the world, to fulfil her desire to belong entirely to God in the service of the neighbor.
