The Canossian Sisters in Singapore celebrate
130 years of love and mission
Today, 130 years later, the Sisters continue to live out Foundress’ call to “change with the sign of the times” as we continue to make Jesus known and loved.
The Canossian Village commemorated the handover of Canossian School to Canossa Catholic Primary with a simple and dignified ceremony.
A beautiful new statue of St Magdalene with 2 children – one with hearing loss and the other who is hearing – was unveiled and blest by His Eminence, William Cardinal Goh.
READ: An article “Who is Magdalene of Canossa?” by Sr Elizabeth Tham.
The Canossians trace their origin to Magdalen of Canossa, a religious sister canonized by Pope John Paul II in 1988.
The Canossian missions in Singapore started with the arrival of 4 young Sisters from Macau, at the invitation of the Bishop Medeiros, the Bishop of Macau, who was in charge of the Portuguese Mission in Singapore. Arriving on 11th December 1894, they took over the running of St Anthony’s Girls School, originally started by the Portuguese Mission in 1879. This gave rise to the Sisters being called “Portuguese Nuns” and St. Anthony’s being known as “Portuguese Convent”.
