About Us  |
The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Province of the Society of the Catholic Apostolate (Pallottine Fathers and Brothers) was carved out of the united Prabhu Prakash Province of the same Society.
Pallottines from the Sacred Heart Province, Germany, had come to India and begun the Indian Mission in 1951. After 50 years of Pallottine Presence in India the united Prabhu Prakash Province was transformed into three entities, viz., Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Province having its Provincialate in Bangalore, Prabhu Prakash Province having its Provincialate in Nagpur and Kristu Jyoti Region having its regional house in Raipur, on January 06, 2002. On the same day in a solemn Eucharistic celebration Fr. Christudhas, SAC, took charge as the Provincial of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Province, Fr. Vensus George, SAC, as the Vice-Provincial and Frs. Anthony Correia, SAC, Alex Crasta, SAC, and Camilo Simoes, SAC, as the Councilors.
The term of the first Provincial Council ended on January 06, 2005 and the new Provincial Council consisting of Fr. Vensus George, SAC, the Provincial, Fr. Emmanuel Savariaradimai, SAC, the Vice-Provincial, Frs. Paul D’Souza, SAC, Camilo Simoes, SAC, and Balaswamy Boyalla, SAC, the councilors, assumed office on the same day.
The new Provincial Council, set the following priorities: community life, formation, consolidation, social apostolate and financial self-sufficiency to lead the Province to the path of growth and development. As the 2008 January arrived, it was the time once again for setting up a new Provincial Council. Fr. Susayan Sathyanesan SAC was elected as the Provincial to lead the Society with Fr. Oswald D’Souza SAC as the Vice-Provincial and Frs. Charles Fernandes, SAC, Thomas Kurusappan SAC and Bhaskar Madanu SAC as the Council members. |
