WHO ARE BANYATEREZA SISTERS

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.
