The order operated a convent on Sanctuary, known as [[Sanctuary 101]], which was destroyed by the [[Necrons]] in 897.[[M41]], leaving no survivors.{{Fn|3a}} Canoness [[Sepherina]] visited the site in 909.M41 to reconsecrate the ground and construct a memorial to her Sisters in the form of a number of small statues of Saint Katherine, one for each sister, to watch over the site of their martyrdom. The bodies of the Sisters were collected by [[Inquisitor]] [[Hoth]], and had not been returned to the Order by the time Sepherina made her visit.{{Fn|3b}} It is not known if their bodies were ever returned.
A mission of the Order was sent to [[Parnis]] to investigate a lost convent of sisters. [[Ephrael Stern]], a [[Seraphim]], was the only survivor of the expedition, and returned without explanation for what happened on Parnis, barely sane and suspected of [[Chaos]] taint. The sister later ended up missing after a second expedition to the world led by the Inquisitor [[Silas Hand]] again resulted in Ephrael as the only survivor. The [[Inquisition]] is torn between killing her or capturing her.{{Fn|4}}
[[Miriael Sabathiel]] was a [[Sister Superior]] of the Order and is the only sister acknowledged to have willingly fallen to [[Chaos]]. A Canoness of the Order, [[Olga Karamanz]], was murdered by Miriael when she tried to apprehend her, even as the Canoness proclaimed a desire to help Miriael.{{Fn|5}}
