Though the Parish Church of Kottangal was to celebrate its centenary in 2004, it was a pity that there was no Religious house in that Parish. In 1990 nephews of our Sr. Patrick Panamthottam took initiative to get started a House of SD here. With this end in view Srs. Jerin and Santa Maria got appointed at St. Theresa’s L.P. School at Alaprakad in 1990. But the dream was actualized in 2000 only, during the time of the Vicar Rev. Fr. Cyriac Kulangottil
In 1995 we bought a plot of land and constructed the convent building. The blessing ceremony took place on 9 February by the Archbishop Mar Joseph Powathil. Srs. Francy (Superior), Tracy and Raisa were the pioneers. The Infant Jesus Nursery School was also opened at the Convent on 9 September in the same year, and was flourishing well, imparting a good formation to the children. Sisters make regular family visits and actively participate in the pastoral works of the Parish.
