Brief History
The congregation of the Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent De Paul, in the Syro - Malabar Church, Mananthavady was started on January 1st, 1976. It has its origin in the "soeurs de la charite" (sisters of charity) of Strassburg, in 1734, for the care of the sick and needy particularly the poor.
The congregation grew rapidly and spread from Strassburg to Germany, Austria and Italy. The Vincention Congregation in India is a member of the Federation of the Vincention Congregation formed in 1970, from Germany.
Serving poor, the sick, and the needy with compassionate heart as exemplified by the life of St.Vincent De Paul, who believes "The Merciful Love Conquers the World", was stated to be the Charism of our Congregation.
Apostalate:-
As sisters of charity of St.Vincent De Paul we share with the Church the joy and the hope, the grief and anguish of the people of our time especially of those who are poor, afflicted in any way.
We serve in hospitals, schools and preprimary schools, technical and professional schools, home for the children and home for the aged, hostel for students and working women, community health and social development programs, caring for alcoholics and drug addicts, family and youth apostolate, pastoral and missionary activities.
