The Sisters of St. Charles Borromeo

This is a little story that has led the Sisters of St. Charles Borromeo to place a community in the distinctly glittering bluish green village, Muttom in kottar diocese.

In 2009 in the month of May Rev. Fr. Arockiaraj SJ handed over a letter given by Rev.Fr. Amalanathan of Kottar dioces to Sr.Amali. The letter enclosed an invitation to work and administer a hospital at Muttom. It is to run a hospital that is already built and assurance of financial aid was given to equip and administer it. As directed Fr. Amalan sent invitation to Sr. Jaya the provincial superior of the Eastern province. The Provincial superior and her council had many discussions with the bishop of Kottar Rt.Rev. Peter Remigius DD and the pastoral commission members and signed a contract that stipulated the conditions laid for an experimental period of one year on 28. 09.2010.

Even before the contract was signed, “The Vianney Hospital”, was inaugurated on 10.05.2010. Bishop Rt. Rev. Peter Remigius blessed the building. This ‘Indian Pearl’ is proving its worth, unfolding the compassion of God through service to the sick and the ailing both in the hospital and their homes to those confined to their beds. The sisters do the pastoral work in the parish and visit the homes in the villages and have built a good rapport with the people.
