Society of the Companions of the Holy Cross

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Society of the Companions of the Holy Cross (SCHC) is an organization for Episcopal/Anglican women founded by Emily Malbone Morgan in 1884. SCHC has chapters across the United States and India. There also is a virtual chapter for members who don't live near a chapter or can't attend meetings. This chapter, known as the Far & Near Chapter, has members in the United States, Belize, Canada, Great Britain, India and Japan.[1]

The Companions are headquartered in Byfield, Massachusetts. This site is the location of their historic retreat and conference center, Adelynrood Retreat and Conference Center.
