About Us

The Congregation of the Nazareth Sisters is a religious community for women. It was founded in 1975 by Mar Sebastian Valloppilly, the first Bishop of Tellicherry, Kerala. The members have been called to share God's redemptive love with all the children of God, following the ideals of the Holy Family.Our charism is personalising and sharing the attitude and lifestyle of the Holy Family at Nazareth. Our Motto is "He regarded the lowliness of His Handmaid" (Lk 1:48)

Emblem

Joined Hands is the symbol of dedication, dependency and faith in the divine providence and Rosary reminds us to follow the Queen of heaven and earth and Mother of the Holy Family with tenderness, love and piety. And Unfolded Bible denotes our duty to receive the Holy Gospel as our life rule and convey its message to others by being a living Gospel of God.And Toiling Hands reveals our involvement in the humble and untiring effort of the Holy Family.

Formation

"And those whom he predestined he also called; and those whom he called he also justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified" (Rom: 8:30). Our Vocation is a call of the Spirit to follow closely the prayerful and austere life of the Holy Family. It is up to us to grasp the meaning of this call and respond to it. Therefore, our religious formation should be Christ-centered, ecclesiastical and according to the charism of our Congregation. This formation should enable us to experience the personality of Jesus in depth.
