IshKripa

In the year 2004 God's loving Providence lead us to a naturally blessed piece of land at the outskirts of Bangalore, near Electronic City, to a village named Gattahalli. It was about 18 k.m from the city- Ish Kripa (God's Providence).

God the Father granted us a beautiful place with people who are so hospitable to us. We began our activity here with three religious and five postulants. We had to adjust ourselves in a small Farm House that was available to us.

We have now a lovely house to accommodate our religious and postulants. It is blessed in the year 2005.

Now we have shifted to our second house, and we are 8 religious, five of them pursuing their theology, one philosophy, one B Ed, and ten postulants, doing their Philosophy. Thanks be to God, that we have the access to Carmalaram, run by OCD fathers for our students Theological studies. And our 10 postulants go to Suvidya College (3), run by MSMF Fathers, Dharmaram Vidya Ksetram (DVK) run by the C M I (5), Deepa Halli run by Marianist (2), for Philosophy.

Along with the formation of our religious and postulants God has guided us to fulfill his plan for the poor and underprivileged children of the locality. We began our activity for them in the year 2005 with five precious germs the Lord had sent us.

Gradually they too are growing in number, now they count 15. Our Calabrian boys do their schooling right from 1st standard to 10th at Harrohally and Huskur govt.schools respectively. They live with us and experience the love of the Heavenly Fathers in this house.

The pandemonium of the city does not affect our life that is surrounded by the abundant blessing from God. The perfect cordiality that we receive from the neighbourhood boosts us to work for the Lord. Let this grace of God ever shine in our activity.
