Who Are We
Daughters of St. Therese of the Child Jesus (DST) (Commonly known as the Banyatereza Sisters)
We are a Congregation of Diocesan Right, founded in Fort Portal Diocese, Uganda, East Africa, by the Right Reverend Bishop Francis Xavier Lacoursière. We live in a Community whereby we share together our giftedness and our common goal. Our principal patroness is Saint Therese of the Child Jesus, patroness of missionaries. We cultivate a special devotion to her and imitate her faith, love, trust, humility and spirit of self-sacrifice. Currently we are serving in Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Sudan and USA .
We are consecrated women called to serve and love God freely and inclusively; to possess nothing so as to share everything; to listen so as to discern God's will.
