| Deleted: The Bishop of Trichur, Mar Joseph Kundukulam invited us to open a house at Thalakkottukara which is in a small village, a little away from Trichur. Sr. Mary Pauline, the then Regional Superior accepted the invitation and ventured to begin the first house in Kerala. On April 22, 1983, the first group of Sisters, Sr. Martha, as superior, Rose Mary and Lilly made their way to the place and were lodged in the dispensary building constructed by the St. Vincent de Paul Society, in the parish premises. In the beginning, this building served both as the residence and dispensary reaching out to the sick and caring for them. |

| Deleted: Medicare was not the only need of the place. A school was their long cherished dream as the children had to go very far for their education. The FSM with their thrust on the education of young girls availed themselves of this golden opportunity. The school began with an initial enrolment of 35 students. |

| Deleted: A piece of land was purchased, close to the Church and a modest building was erected for the convent. On May 29, 1985, we shifted to the new premises. The number of children increased gradually and in 1997 the school obtained recognition from the government for the Upper Primary section and for the High school in 2005. Today, the number of students is 970. Our struggle continues as we still do not have the recognition for the Lower Primary section. |

| Deleted: The sisters also take an active part in the Parish ministry, such as faith formation, guiding the various Associations of the Parish, visiting the sick and the aged. We are very actively involved in ‘Unit Prayer’ in families which is very regular practice and is dynamic in the parish. The good rapport between sisters, teachers and parents is an effective means of learning and teaching them how each one can contribute to the growth of the person and the country and reach out to a large section of the people. God has been gracious and generous to us in bestowing blessings after blessings. May the presence of the FSM be a blessing to the people as they experience our service here. |
