dedicated their lives to serving the marginalized with humility and compassion. Their legacies of faith, kindness, and resilience continue to inspire communities to pursue acts of generosity and compassion.

Mother Pabla Bescós

Pabla Bescos Espierrez is a name interwoven in the twilight of every day; it is a story blended into the simple everyday. A woman on the move. This is how we can define her. A bridge between the 19th and 20th centuries, a link between the first Sisters and all those who would later arrive, a platform to launch the Congregation towards horizons without limits.

Yet through each quiet act of kindness, we extend our reach, bringing hope, care, and compassion to those most in need. Inspired by the life of Jesus and the example of our Founder, and guided by the charism of universal charity toward the poorest and most needy, with an “ever-adaptable apostolic availability,” we serve with love, humility, and dedication.

fully embraced the spirit of “Missio Ad Gentes” generously committing itself to the wider mission of the Church.

From those humble beginnings, we built a vibrant and flourishing mission. Through prayer, sacrifice, and untiring service, we laid a strong foundation that transformed lives, strengthened communities, and spread the message of faith, hope, and love across this land. What began as a small seed grew into a great tree of service. Like our founders and first sisters bequeathed us a specific style of living charity, made service, “With the greatest Care” with all love” seeing Christ in every person.

Opening Ceremony of the Platinum Jubilee

With deep gratitude, we celebrated the opening of our Platinum Jubilee, honouring our pioneering sisters and thanking God for seventy-five years of faithful presence and mission in India. The celebration became a joyful proclamation of God’s enduring faithfulness and a renewed commitment to continue our legacy of service for generations to come.

Our Jubilee theme, “Legacy of Service, Inspiring the Future,” beautifully expresses this journey. The legacy we celebrate is not only remembered — it is continued. As those before us proclaimed God’s mighty deeds through their lives, so we move forward with courage and hope. In unveiling the Jubilee logo, we revealed a story of faith transformed into mission and sacrifice blossoming into service — a strong foundation carrying us into the future. As seventy-five balloons were released into the sky, each one symbolized a year of grace, lives touched, and love shared, rising as a hymn of praise to God.

As we celebrate the past, we recommit ourselves in the present and look to the future with bold faith. Trusting in God’s unfailing guidance, we joyfully declare open the Platinum Jubilee Year, marking seventy-five blessed years of faithful presence and mission in this land.

May our legacy of service continue to inspire generations to come. Let us walk forward together in Love in Action, under God’s ever-faithful care.

“The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.” (Psalm 126:3)
