Small but Special!

Epochs are born in a simple way from out of the lives of ordinary people. These men and women are primeval energies from the atom, sanctified already in the womb. These makers of history are often persons without any important historical background. They often do not have any historical roots to boast of. These are truly the saints of the Universe. The wonder that these men and women evoke in our hearts is beyond imagination, deeper than the seas and higher than the mountains. “This indeed is the work of God, a delight for our eyes….” (Psalm118:23) Read More...

The legacy of our Congregation is the basis for our identity. Yet, as the world keeps changing and as new needs emerge in the society where we are placed, we seek to make our methods creative, competent, and communitarian. The spirit of our commitment is generative and empowering the weak. We inherit these characteristics from our Foundress Mother Thatipathri Gnanamma who listened to the cry of the illiterate women of Kilacheri and wiped away their tears by her spontaneous and liberating response. She was solely inspired by the Spirit of the Lord who carried the cross to free the oppressed.

We get engaged with God’s mission of saving, only by getting engaged in the struggles of the poor and oppressed. Read More...
