Maria Kripa Convent, Kallianpur

Ozanam Home for the Aged was started during the international year of the Aged and the Sick in 1982. It was looked after by the SRA Sisters and other two lay wardens. Bethany made its presence visible on 16th January 1996 when Sr Christella was the Provincial Superior. They were entrusted with the responsibility for the internal management. From then on Bethany Sisters serve actively and participate in the mission of Christ. It was a cherished dream of SVP to provide a new Convent building. It came into existence in the year 2010 and was canonically erected on 01.06.2011 as Maria Kripa Convent.

The Charism and spirit of Bethany is spelt out among the elderly through their service, such as caring the sick, offering moral support by praying with them and for them, preparing them to receive the sacraments such as Eucharist, confession, anointing of the sick, taking them to the hospitals, looking after kitchen management and maintenance of accounts. They are also involved in the parish activities like catechism classes; ward meeting, family visits etc. The sisters represent the Bethany in the locality and are appreciated for their loving services by all.
