Description | : Kannadiurump
is a small village comes under the Cathedral church of Palai Diocese. Kannadiurump is very important in
the annuals of the history of FCC. Our founding mothers stayed here for many
years prior to the establishment of the congregation and were engaged in
various apostolic works like helping the poor and needy. This is the third
house of FCC which was started in 1888. In1988 when FCC centenary was
celebrated, a lighted lamp was carried solemnly from Kannadiurump to Changanasserry.
Almost all members of the congregation participated in it. It was the ardent desire of the
founding mothers, hailed from Pala, to open a house at Kannadiurump where they
stayed first. With the permission of the Bishop Mar Thomas Makkeel , sisters
from Changanasserry came to Kannadiurump, stayed here opened a house here with
the help of the Well -Wishers of that Place. Their life was hard. They lived in
poverty doing hard work and begging. They looked after the orphans and destitutes.
They taught the children, making them sit in the convent veranda. During that
time Rev.Fr. Mathew Kadalikkattil was
appointed as their chaplain. All those fathers who were their chaplains, helped
them and were very generous. Attracted by the good examples of the sisters,
many young girls from Pala and the surrounding areas joined the convent. From
the very beginning there was free boarding for poor children. They did many
services in the Bishops House also. In the present community there are twenty eight
members. The sisters who worked hard in the beginning are now old and sick.
Still they continue their apostolate by sitting in front of the tabernacle and
interceding for the whole world. |
