Description	The Nazareth Sisters extended their services to North India, and this Dansal mission was inaugurated on July 03, 1999. It was a milestone in the history of the Nazareth Sisters. Dansal is a hilly area in Jammu district that is 30 km from Jammu city. The pioneers of this mission were Sr. Mariet NS (Superior), Sr. Leena NS, Sr. Jyothis NS and Sr. Grace Mary NS. Rev. Fr. Francis Vattakkunnel was the first parish priest. Rev. Fr. Joseph Koovackal is the founder of this mission, and he is responsible for its development. To bring the local people into the mainstream, we focused on educating them. The Holy Trinity Convent School was opened on August 02 1999, by the Jammu -Srinagar diocese. Our sisters have served as administrators and teachers since the school's foundation. The diocese of Jammu & Srinagar manages the church and school. Holy Mass is being celebrated daily in the parish church. Every Wednesday, we have prayer sessions with the Christian families. There would be special prayers during the Christmas, Easter and Lenten seasons. The carol procession, in which people from many faiths enthusiastically participate, is a memorable event. There are only nine Christian families on the Dansal mission. They all gather together for the Sunday Mass and all church feasts. However, there are few Christians, and Sunday catechism, retreats and seminars are being arranged under the leadership of the Fathers and Sisters. To uplift the appalling conditions of the poor, illiterate people of the locality, the sisters, under the guidance of the fathers of Sevanikethan, launched many projects through the Mother Theresa Social Development Society to provide job opportunities. Along with training in skilled labour, they conducted classes to improve literacy rates. Twenty villages were adopted for a variety of projects. Animators were selected from among the villagers themselves. Under the guidance of sisters, tailoring centres and craft working centres were established. This resulted in large-scale employment opportunities for the rural people. This social service scheme was an outstanding achievement in the diocese of Jammu—Srinagar.

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......
