We Carmelite missionaries of St. Francis Xavier India united with the sisters of our entire Congregation thank God for the gift of life and joyful witnessing of Sr. Josephine Payyapilli to the Church. We believe that our beloved sister with her missionary and universal heart would continue interceding for the Charismatic experience in the Congregation and for the new vocations to Missionary Carmel.

At the end of the camp three girls came forward showing their interest for religious life. We keep in contact with them and follow up so that they may listen to the call of God.

Walking together with the people of God
One with the people of God
Being aware of the Theme “Go I am sending you “ we the sisters have involved ourselves in many pastoral activities of the Parish. We have divine Mercy shrine so thousands of people come on first Friday of the month. Thus, we are occupied in distributing communion, giving counselling to the people who request. We also extend our service to the sick and homebound by distributing Holy communion and praying for them in their respective houses. We give catechism classes to the students who prepare themselves to receive First Holy communion and confirmation. On Sundays we visit the families. We go along with the Priest to different villages for the Holy Eucharist.
We sisters render our service in the Parish school where she gets ample of opportunities to interact with the parents of the students. In the community we run Kindergarten for tiny tots coming from different economic background, religions and culture. We get chance to enrich ourselves with interculturality. We promote values that are necessary to live a good family life. We have also a small group of CMS who are active and vibrant in rendering their service to the needy and poor.
