Snehagiri Missionary Sisters (SMS)

Mission

Our Mission is to impart the healing touch of Jesus and the compassionate love through various apostolic activities. We consider our ministries as ways of sharing the mercy of the Heavenly Father to the people around. Inspiration is drawn from the words of Jesus that “Whenever you did this for one of the least important of these brothers of mine, you did it for me” (Mt. 25:40).
