Holy Spirit Convent, Pilathara – Since 2006
Historical Background & Apostolates
Holy Spirit Convent in Pilathara is the second venture in the State of Kerala, where many of our sisters come from.
Plethara is a small town situated on the National Highway in the district of Kannur, in the northern part of Kerala. We have purchased 89 cents of land here in December 2004; with the intention to extend our presence in this area.
In May 2006 Sr. Felcy Chacko and Rose Thomas were appointed to initiate the mission here. During this period they were accommodated in the staff quarters of Pariyarum Medical college, where Sr. Felcy was teaching. In June 2007 we had the community of four sisters. The construction of the new convent was commenced in June 2007, and was blessed by Rt. Rev. Dr. Varghese Chakalakel Bishop of Kannur on April 12th 2008.
At present the sisters in the community there, are involved in teaching in the Lourdes Nursing College at Thaliparamba, Diocesan school at Pilathara, counseling in De-addiction center run by the SVDs and Pastoral Care etc.
