Following months of rigorous training and spiritual formation, five sisters were joyfully commissioned and dedicated into the Order of the Sisters of the Cross at St. Thomas Believers Eastern Cathedral in the Diocese of Hyderabad. The sacred services were held over two days, on the 14th and 15th of June 2025.
His Grace Joseph Mor Demetrius Episcopa served as the Chief Celebrant and presided over both the Commissioning and Dedication services, formally inducting the five sisters into the Order. These solemn ceremonies were attended by members of the local parish community, parents of the sisters, several priests, and well-wishers.
The five sisters, having faithfully prepared themselves through prayer and spiritual formation, have dedicated their lives to God and committed themselves to serve the Holy Church through a life of obedience, humility, and sacrificial service.
This commissioning marks a significant milestone in the history of the Sisters of the Cross in the Diocese of Hyderabad, affirming the Church’s continuing mission to raise up women of faith who will serve the Lord and His people with love and devotion.
The faithful are encouraged to pray for these newly dedicated sisters as they begin their journey of ministry, that they may be strengthened and guided by the Holy Spirit in every step of their service.
