Healing Ministry
The healing ministry of Jesus is one of the most acknowledged and most controversial parts of His redemptive work. Jesus was genuinely moved out of compassion for the sick. Healing for the body is a part of the wonderful grace of God that brings salvation to the world.
Healing Ministry is said to be a Biblically based ministry that is taken as the churchs response to Christs appointment to preach the Gospel , meet people at the point of need &heal the sick.

Sisters are involved in nursing ,paramedical services and teaching in different hospitals in Kerala , such as St. James Hospital Chalakudy , Carmel Hospital Ashokapuram , Jubilee Mission Hospital Thrissur , Amala Hospital Thrissur and Lissy Hospital Ernakulam .
