Holy Cross accepted the East Bengal Mission at the request of the Holy See in 1851. Through the zeal and perseverance of the missionaries, the infrastructure of the Church was built and many villages were converted to Christianity.

Today, in the predominantly Muslim country of Bangladesh, the Congregation is known for the exellence of its educational institutions and its solidarity with the poor.
