How beautiful Heaven will be,
the Kingdom of
that God
whom we serve!
But how much more beautiful will it
be
for us
if a multitude
of souls
follow us there,

won through
our hard work
and the merits
of Christ.

This House started as a Formation House for the Novices on December 29, 1994. Presently, this is a Formation House for Juniors because on May 31, 2005, in the same compound, a house for the Novices, to be cut from all alienating activities, was set up.

At first the Apostolate consisted in visiting the poor and the sick in their homes; teaching Catechism to the children in the sisters’ convent and teaching at St. Anthony’s Boys Village College, which is run by the Rogationists.

Presently the work carried in this house is the Formation of Juniors; giving Communion and sharing God’s word with the sick by going every Sunday from house to house. The Sisters teach Catechism in three Public Schools; education is imparted free of charge to poor children in the compound set up for the purpose –and in addition they also work with the poor – visiting them and sharing goods with them.

On May 6, 2000 a Retreat House for small groups was started. The Sisters here offer boarding and lodging. This Apostolate helps the Sisters to give witness of Christ to all those who go to spend an overnight or a two-day retreat.

On June 16, 2001 a “Child Caring Institution for abandoned, neglected and surrendered children, whom the sisters call “Mo.Teresa Spinelli’s Treasures” was set up. This Apostolate was not planned. It all started from the love the Sisters felt for the poor and the suffering and their urge to help do something for them. At the time there were only two children, Monica of six months and Teresa, a two year old whom the Sisters kept with them in the Novices’ dormitory. But when the number of children increased, the need for building a house for the purpose was greatly felt. So, March 27, 2004 saw the opening of the house which was much needed. This is found to be in the same compound. The Sisters are committed to these children just like a mother, 24hrs of the day. Presently there are 26 babies and children. The house is already too small for them!!. A REALLY BIGGER house to have is of paramount importance, to continue giving this indispensable help to these Mo.Teresa Spinelli’s Treasures”, because the demand for sheltering such children is great!
