Description

History of background:- Assisi Province Thrissur  immortalized its Golden Jubilee Year when it opened its first mission house outside Kerala at Agra in St.Peter's compound on 26th July 1960. Thus FCC paved the way for other oriented Congregation to open their house in Latin rite of Northern India. The Arch Bishop of Agra Most. Rev. Dominic Athanide OFM (Cap.) who invited FCC to serve in his diocese obtained the permission to work in Latin dioceses from the Holy See through the Apostolic Letter "Beneplacetium Apostolicum"

                                         Seven sisters (the pioneers) under Mother Christina Ventured in to the Northern India. They stayed in a house accommodated for them in St. Peter College compound. They extended their services in caring for the junior boys in the Hostel and also were in charge of Cathedral Society. Gradually they started teaching in St. Peter's College junior section -At present they manage St. Felix Nursery School and St. Alphonsa Special School for Mentally Challenged.
