Genesis of 20 Convents in Salem Province

SMMI CONVENT AKKARAPALAYAM - (1991)
THE MISSION OF THE COMMUNITY :
  • To teach the children the preliminary education and to inculcate the lasting values.
  • To involve in the Parish activities.
  • To promote faith formation among Catholics.
  • Spiritual care to the substations of the parish.
ORIGIN OF THE COMMUNITY :
  • The people in this village received the Good News of Jesus Christ through the Jesuit Priest Joseph Constantine Beschy. The SMMI launched this mission in the Diocese of Pondicherry in the year 1991. We reached out to people through deep involvement in the parish work and by touching the lives of children through education. We also took active involvement in house visits. From this little mission we received good number of vocations to our Province.
