They came here from Kleve in 1876 to teach children, nurse the sick, and comfort the unfortunate. For nearly 90 years, they ran a kindergarten and girls’ school, a girls’ boarding school, and a sewing and knitting school. From 1963 to 1987, their work was taken over by the Sisters of Julie Postel from Boxmeer. In 1988, the Protestant missionary foundation Cornerstone moved into the building.
