About
This mission station is in the interior village among the tribals and we work mainly for the upliftment of the tribals. Sisters in the Provincialate are involved in various activities:
Education: Our sisters teach in Parish school.
Hostel for tribal girls: Since the schools are far away from the villages there is no education facility for the children. So we accommodate those children in our hostel and send them to the neighboring schools.
Health care : Since the hospitals are far away from the villages we cater the immediate medical need of the people in our dispensary.
Social work : among the poor and marginalized, giving them awareness programs for their rights.
Pastoral work : Organizing children, women, youth and giving them faith formation and moral values.
Family apostolate : Visiting families, praying, family counselling, giving awareness program on hygiene, health care etc.
