Vyšehrad is a historic hilltop fortress built on a rocky outcrop above the Vltava River. It offers beautiful panoramic views of Prague. At its heart stands the Basilica of St. Peter and Paul, a striking Neo-Gothic church that attracts many people seeking prayer, serenity, and spiritual renewal.

In 2012, the Sisters of Mercy of the Holy Cross were invited to continue the ministry at Vyšehrad after the departure of the Sisters of Divine Mercy from Prague.

Today, the community consists of nine sisters. Their responsibilities include caring for the basilica, managing administrative duties, and providing pastoral services. Some sisters also actively serve in two different schools and in our Holy Cross hospital. They work closely with the people, and their service is highly valued.
