We are consecrated religious 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.
We are consecrated religious 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. We are an institute of Diocesan Right, founded in Fort Portal Diocese, Uganda, East Africa, by the Right Reverend Francis Xavier Lacoursière. We live in 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 Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda and Sudan.

The Banyatereza Sisters are involved in a wide range of work, which is summarized in four main ministries: pastoral ministry teaching ministry, healing ministry and social work and social development ministry. Each sister is encouraged to do her best in the sanctification of the present moment, being helped by the grace received from God for that particular for that moment.
By working in hospitals and lower level health facilities, we promote the practical healing presence and make meaningful the healing ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ among His people – the sick and the dying.
In the Pastoral ministry we proclaim the word of God to both the young and adults in their homes, or in schools, hospitals, prisons, and places of worship.
We serve as channels of God’s knowledge and wisdom as it is written in Jn. 6:45, “they shall all be taught by God” and to promote the teaching ministry of Christ as He instructed His disciples (Matt. 28:19).
