Wehrle OSB, she could send sisters to staff a hospital in Breese, Illinois.\u00a0 In 1923 city leaders invited Holy Cross Sisters to Merrill, Wisconsin, and in 1928 the sisters dedicated Holy Cross Hospital, now Ministry Good Samaritan Health Center.
\nLocal women joined the Holy Cross Sisters, and along with working in the three hospitals they taught in grade schools, high schools, and colleges.\u00a0 They also worked in an orphanage and continued to expand and serve in various ministries throughout the United States.\u00a0 The \u201cMission Territory\u201d was made a province in 1954.<\/p>\n

In the early 1980s, a request came from laypersons who appreciated the sisters\u2019 charism and wanted a closer relationship with the community.\u00a0 In 1983 the sisters officially began an associate program to establish that relationship.\u00a0 At present, there are 28 lay women and men who live out the Holy Cross charism as associates.<\/p>\n

In 1987 the Holy Cross Sisters sold their three hospitals.\u00a0 In 1990, responding to a rising need for elderly care, they remodeled their convent in Merrill into a community-based residential facility for the elderly.\u00a0 Bell Tower Residence, a sponsored ministry of the Holy Cross Sisters, provides quality care to the sisters and the public.<\/p>\n

The sisters of the Province are engaged in pastoral care, prison ministry, parish ministry, dementia support, administrative support services, volunteering in ministry to the poor.<\/p>\n
