ASMI SACRED HEART PROVINCE - NAGPUR

Assisi Sisters of Mary Immaculate is a Congregation founded in the year 1949 by late Msgr Joseph K.W. Thomas in Cherthala, which is commonly called “Greengardens” in the Archdiocese of Ernakulam, Kerala. 

It was in 1989 that the Assisi Sisters of Mary Immaculate, for the first time came to Nagpur, as per the invitation of His Grace, Late Leobard D’Souza, with a request to look after the mentally Challenged of the city of Nagpur. On 4th October 1992, on the Feast day of our heavenly patron St. Francis of Assisi, the newly constructed Provincialate was blessed by our His Grace Late Leobard D’Souza. Rev. Sr. Celestine Francis was our first Provincial Superior.

Empowered by the word of God and witnessing to the values of Christ, to reach the perfect love, we the Assisi Sisters commit ourselves to be prophetic women like Mary our Mother, striving to build a universal family of justice, love and peace where the marginalised are integrated with dignity.
