Description | : The
Provincial Superior Rev.Sr.Alex and team wanted to buy particular land for
cultivation. By this time the people of
Kannara ardently wished for a new
convent in their parish. So the superiors bought a plot of land there. When, St. Joseph church Kannara
became a free parish in 1993, six
sisters started to stay in the parish church
itself and started a nursery school on June 15th.
The foundation stone for the convent was laid by Rev. Fr. Charles Chungath.In
1994, Fr. Charles Chungath was transferred and Rev. Fr. Paul Arikkattu became
the parish priest and stayed in the parish. So the sisters changed their
residence to Assisi convent. At the end of February, a temoporal room was
prepared and sisters started to stay there. The new house was blessed and
inaugurated by Rt. Rev. Joseph Kundukulam on16th Sep. 1994 under the
name Kannara Clare Jyothi F.C convent. Considering the need of the local people
a Malayalam medium L.P school was started there. In 1995 a creche and in 1997 a
clinic also started there. In the year
2000 a special school "Jai Christo Sadan" was started for the mentally retarded
children with the permission of State Government. The foundation stone for the
hostel to the special children was laid
by Rev. Fr. Sebi Puthoor on 23rd Aug 2009. Sisters are very much
interested in faith formation & house visiting and give leadership to various pious
associations. They have a very close contact with the local people and act as
an actual help for them in their different needs. |
