Our Heritage and the Sisters of Mercy of the Holy Cross
The story of Prabhat Tara School is intertwined with the remarkable journey of the Sisters of Mercy of the Holy Cross. Founded in 1856 in Switzerland, this congregation owes its origin to the vision of Fr. Theodosius Florentini OFM Cap and Mother Maria Theresa Scherer. Inspired by a mission to serve the marginalized and to promote education and healthcare, these pioneers created a framework for social service that has spanned continents and generations.
From humble beginnings in Europe, the Sisters of Mercy of the Holy Cross have expanded their mission to nearly all continents, including North and South America, Africa, Europe, and Asia. Their work has always been grounded in the principles of compassion, service, and empowerment, touching countless lives through schools, hospitals, orphanages, and community programs.
In India, their presence is marked by a commitment to providing quality education that blends academic rigor with moral and spiritual development. Prabhat Tara School is a shining example of this vision, where children are groomed not only to be successful academically but also to be socially conscious and ethically grounded.
