Sr. Vimala, Sr. Ranitta and Sr. Therese Maria were the First members who reached Germanyon 5th November 1973 as  nursing students. After completing their studies in the year 1978-1979 they stayed with the German sisters in three houses and started their ministry of nursing. Sr. Ranitta was with the Franciscan sisters in Kliniken Mariahilf. Three sisters came on 3rd October 1981 and joined Sr. Ranitta at Kliniken Mariahilf for working in the field of nursing. After visiting USA Rev. Sr. Joviet, the provincial Superior of that time reached Germany on that day itself. Thus on 3rd October 1981 Aachen Bishop Dr. Klaus Hermmerle established the first community of our own before the presence of our provincial superior.
