Holy Cross School, Itanagar is run by the Congregation of the Sisters of the Cross of Chavanod which was founded by Mother Claudine Echernier in 1838 at Chavanod in the South East of France. In the nineteenth century, France was deeply affected by the Consequences of the Revolution of 1789. Ignorance and misery prevailed along with exploitation of the poor. The situation of the girls was particularly difficult.
The deplorable situation of the young girls touched the heart of Mother Claudine Echernier. Strengthened and deeply moved by the love of Christ, Claudine began to render her service to the illiterate and poor girls of Chavanod. Her vision was “to make good God known and loved”.
Thus the Congregation of the Sisters of the Cross was founded by Mother Claudine Echernier with the ardent support of Rev. Fr. Peter Marrie Mermier.
Gradually young girls joined Claudine in her total commitment to uplift the suffering humanity of her time. Hence, this Institution works towards the total development of the youth and children, endeavouring to help them experience. God’s light and goodness and to share the same with others. The members of this Congregation work towards building up the society in truth, justice, peace and harmony.
Today the congregation has around 2000 dedicated sisters working in 16 nationalities of the world.
