Allahabad Province, Congregation of Jesus

The members are engaged in various ministries such as Education, Social work, Health Care, Pastoral Care, Care of mentally Challenged children, Counselling and Vocational Training.

Education: Mary Ward saw education as a key to the development of women and the society. Education has been the main Apostolate of the Congregation from the time of its Foundress although the concept of education has changed in the course of years. Responding to the needs of the times, the changing economic, political, social, cultural and religious conditions, the nature of education has changed. It has come to be viewed as a means to social change and transformation.
