Sacred Heart Province, Ernakulam
1928 April 29th is the most memorable day for us. With the paternal blessings and leadership of Msgr. Augustine Kandathil, the Arch Bishop of Ernakulam Diocese, a branch of Clarist Congregation was planted at Angamaly and thus Sacred Heart Province Ernakulam originated. Rev. Mothers Mariam Thresis, Kochuthresia, Clara, and MariaAgnes were the founding- mothers. Under the leadership of Mother Mariam Thresia, many branches were started and within a short time, the Clarist congregation spread its wings in many parishes of the Arch Diocese of Ernakulam. With the division of Ernakulam in 1962 the FCC also became two Provinces- S.H.Province, Ernakulam and Vimala Province Kothamangalam under one Mother General. Mother Xavier was the first Mother General. In 1992 the first mission station was started at Bhopal.
