Description | : The time was at the beginning of 1925.It was
the dream of Rt. Rev. Mar Francis Vazhappilly to start a Clarist convent at
Mattom which is a beautiful place near the famous St.Thomas church, Palayoor. Rev
Fr. Mathew Chiramel Ollukkaran, a priest from Mattom parish was also very much
interested in that subject and he bought some land for the same purpose. But
before fulfilling his dream he went into heaven for his wage. So Mar Vazhappilly
appointed Rev. Fr. Ookken to start the convent. With his selfless effort the
construction work was over very soon. Finally in 1926 the new convent was inaugurated in the name
of the Aassumption of Bl.Virgin Mary. The sisters are very much interested in
house visiting and the helped the poor people. They give leadership to pious
associations and prepare the dying for a good death.The local people also had
love and concern to the poor clarist sisters. So they helped them generously
for their living. In
1974, a balabhavan was started with Assumption convent.At the beginning the
local people themselves helped the balabhavan for it's day today life. |
