The Sadhu Sevana Sabha Congregation was founded on September 8, 1975, in Mallussery, a small village in the northeastern part of Angamaly, within the Archdiocese of Ernakulam-Angamaly, Kerala. It was established by Fr. Thomas Maliekal, a parish priest, along with eight members. He derived the spirit and mission of his new congregation from the Gospel. “What you have done to the least of my brethren, you have done to me”.(Mt 25:40).
Like Jesus, the nuns are anointed to proclaim the Good News to the poor, each SSS, by incarnating the spirit of the congregation, becomes a bearer of divine love and mercy to the poor, the sick, and the elderly.
