The Basilian Sisters arrived in Križevci, Croatia, from Slovita, Ukraine, in 1915 as refugees during World War I. A permanent community in Križevci was established in 1917. The Sisters’ main mission was to educate young women. However, under communism after World War II, they were prohibited from working with youth. To provide for living they worked in agriculture, and from 1960s started to work as nurses in the hospitals.

New monasteries were founded in Sošice (1939), Zagreb (1957), and Karlovac (1972); the Sošice monastery, destroyed in 1942, was rebuilt in 1954. By the decree of centralization of 1951, the Sisters were included into European Province. Soon they obtained a separate Delegature of St. Basil and St. Macrina that was elevated to the vice-province in 1965.

Today, nine Sisters with perpetual vows serve in Križevci, Zagreb, and Sošice. In Križevci, they run a nursing home. In Zagreb, they offer student housing, while in Sošice, they care for an ethnographic museum. Despite declining numbers, they remain faithful to their mission, and they pray for new vocations to continue serving the Croatian Greek-Catholic Church.
