The Motherhouse

Tutzing in Bavaria, Germany is the site of the Motherhouse of the Congregation.  It was from there that the first sisters were sent to the German colonies of Africa in the later years of the 19th century.

In the first  years of the 20th century as more and more young women joined the Congregation, calls for the strengthening of the faith in various countries were answered.  Young German sisters were sent to Brazil in South America in 1905, to the Philippines in 1906, and to other lands in the ensuing years – the United States, Bulgaria, Korea, Japan, Australia, Spain, Argentina, China, India.
