Our sisters provided services in the education field, with the help of diocesan fathers. The Sisters commenced teaching at St. Peter's School from June 2009 onwards.Jaswantnagar is a remote village in Uttar Pradesh. The People depend on agriculture for most of their income. They usually do not send their children to school, instead they assist their parents in grazing their cattle  so , the sisters visit the families in the villages and motivate the children to attend school.  Nazareth Sisters, started a new mission station in 2018 at Nagalagadarian near Jaswantnagar, Etawah. We are engaged in different social activities here including educational service,   informal  coaching classes for poor children, and awareness programmes for women and  parish ministry. etc. Since 2019, we are involved in parish and School ministries in the diocese of Ujjain.

Germany (Saarland)

History

The Nazareth Sisters began their nursing care and services in Germany on 1st Nov. 1998. It is the goodwill, interest, and generous help of Rev. Fr. Joseph Karinattu, former Vicar General of the Archdiocese of Tellicherry, who knows our Congregation from close quarters. The congregation sent the pioneer sisters Sr. Little Rose, Sr. Retty, Sr. LintaMaria and Sr. Seenia . Rev. Sr. Maria Basina Kloos, Franciscan Sisters, in Germany and Sr. Savio MSMI helped these sisters to start their service in an entirely different place. After four years of living in Germany, in 2002, the SVD (Society of the Divine Word) fathers helped them to get a convent at St. Wendel. With the assistance and support of these SVD fathers and Rev. Sr. Maria Basina Kloos, our sisters learnt the German language and started their nursing service. Presently, we have four houses in Germany. The other three are at Saarbrucken, Altenwoog St. Wendel and Puttlingen. All these houses are located in the Trier Diocese. The sisters also find time to participate in the parish ministries.
