Charism
Service of the poor and needy.

The Sadhu Sevana Sabha is a religious congregation of Sisters, which was founded at Mallussery in the Archdiocese of Ernakulam by Rev. Fr. Thomas Maliekal on 8th of September 1975, being the International year of Women – especially for the service of the poor and needy. This Congregation for women was at first approved as a pious union of women living in common by the late Cardinal Mar. Joseph Parecattil, then Arch Bishop of Ernakulam in 1983.It has been raised to the status of a religious congregation by His Eminence Cardinal Mar. Varkey Vithayathil in the year 2000. St. Joseph, the earthly Father of Jesus Christ, is the first patron saint of the congregation. The simple, pious and holy life and divine service of this silent saint of the Bible is the model for the members of our congregation. St. Little Theresa of Lisieux is the Second patron saint of our congregation. Following the footsteps of the patron, charism is formulated to help the needy, protect the weak, support the poor with physical, social and pastoral care. Service minded catholic girls below the age of 25 and having good health can join the congregation after their high school studies. The application can be given at any time; but preferably in June. They will have to undergo two years pre-novitiate and two years novitiate before first profession and five years trial service before the final profession.
