The missionary mandate became their life principle, the daring spirit of itinery, the interior freedom of courage, the brilliance of hope and the ever guiding providence were their anchor. With this guiding force they accommodated themselves in a hall. The fathers provided furniture and other thing s which were necessary for the use. Srs. Annie Kurian & Hariette had a month of Santali class (local Language). The sisters did feel the heat of the venue but their eyes were fixed on the mission.

Socio- economic and political situation- Santhals are the largest single tribe in India. They are poor illiterate farmers. The literacy rate is very low and the place is underdeveloped and there were no proper roads no electricity or phone facilities. They completely depend upon rain if there is no rain , no cultivation. People go to other states for 6 months and during rainy season, they are back to the villages. The weather is extreme hot here as there are many hot water springs around here. As there are jungles and hillocks there is a threat from the wild animals. Every year many are being killed by elephants. A lot of superstitions also prevail in this part of the area. The situation is being changed slowly Apostolate. - We are called to collaborate with the Jesuits in the field of education and medico socio pastoral work.

To incarnate the compassionate love of God to those living in the fringes of the society. Srs. Harriett & Asha got involved in the teaching apostolate “ A selfish heart loves for what it can get and a selfless heart loves for what it can give’’ . Sr. Annie being an experienced person in the socio medical field started her mission of getting into the shoes of the villagers, visiting them, giving necessary medical care and starting regular social awareness programmes and forming self help groups. Today the community has a girls’ boarding attached with 150 girls and two sisters are teaching in the school and one sister as the headmistress of the school which is Std 1- VI. The sisters are very much involved in the socio pastral & medical care wherever possible. Rev. Fr. Swamy S.J is the present parish priest who is very generous and collaborative with the sisters. . Though the going is tough at times, we have never missed the providential care of the Divine; the Lord Jesus in our mission.
