On 6th June 1989, Sr. Mary Pauline, the then Regional Superior along with two councillors and three pioneers started for Surandai via Salem. When they reached Surandai at 5p.m., Most Rev. Irudayaraj, along with religious and people welcomed them and celebrated the Eucharist for them.

They then proceeded to a rented house where they lived for a year. On the following day Srs. Bernarda and Theresita went to the school while Sr. Philomena Amala began her social work.

Being a substation of Senthamaram parish, they were able to attend Eucharistic celebrations only twice a week. Some pious Associations were formed to deepen the spiritual life of the people. This resulted in the spiritual growth of the people, especially the students of all ages- thanks to God and the tireless efforts of the sisters. Two of our sisters are appointed in the diocesan school where they give themselves selflessly to give holistic education

On October 1, 1991, the Most Rev. Dr. S. Irudayaraj blessed the new convent and named it ‘Arul Illam.’ The sisters continue to live the charism of the Foundress in the pastoral, cultural, educational, social and economic uplift of the people who have appreciated their work and benefitted by it.
