EVANGELIZATION
INTRODUCTION OF THE CONGREGATION

The fundamental purpose in founding this congregation was to spread the gospel, in which our founders’ ideal is summed up. Inspired by this ideal, our Sisters dedicate themselves with great zeal and enthusiasm to the work of evangelization and catechesis. Evangelization is our spiritual apostolate.

In its initial stages, the infant church of Chotanagpur was in need of zealous and enthusiastic missionaries to serve its people, particularly the poor and weaker sections of the society and the church. The Congregation was founded for this very purpose: to be at the service of the growing church in close co-operation with the Parish Clergy. Following the Gospel tradition, our sisters move from village to village and spread the good news among the simple people. Notwithstanding various difficulties and hardships, they carry out their mission in loving response and joyful fidelity to God’s call, always burning with ardent love for Jesus Christ.

+ They are working for the Kingdom of God. (Through word of God)

+ The education, not only for the Christian children, but also of non-Christian children, is not only service of the greatest value to people, especially youth, but also a missionary witnessing of Christian charity.
