We, the Sisters of St. Therese of the Child Jesus are an indigenous Congregation of female religious founded in 1963 by bishop Jules Peeters (RIP) a Mill Hill Missionary (MHM) and Bishop of Buea at the time. We are now 59 years since our creation and we are over one hundred Sisters with many more in training. Our main mission is to spread the Gospel of Christ and to promote social justice for all, especially the marginalized persons of society. We also have a special concern in raising the status of women and helping women to be self-reliant. As religious persons, we seek to make Christ known and loved in the services we render to the people of God in Cameroon. We serve the people in Schools, health Institutions, pastoral centers, women empowerment centers, and in Prisons.
Our Congregation is growing, just like any other family, the more members you have the more responsibilities and challenges you encounter. With the growing needs of the local church in Cameroon, we have also extended our work to other areas of the country. We are in twenty-two different Places; seven towns and 15 villages in Cameroon. So we are growing in number and in our work.
We pride ourselves in making sure the women of this community and those of the neighboring communities are empowered witht the right skills according the needs of their environment so at meet up to the daily demands of the society and to careter for their family needs as well.
We ensure that the children and members of the community receive the right form of education offerd to them by professional pedagogic instructors who will drill them and inculcate the values required for a greater future in each and everyone of them irrespective of age or class.
