In 1974, our Founder made use of the service of the Legion of Mary members - Miss. Mary Sebastian, Miss. Arockia Mary and Miss. A. Victoria Peter - who came forward to stay in the mission field at Minjur. They stayed at the existing chapel which was converted into residence. The then Arch Bishop of Madras Mylapore, His Grace Most Rev. Dr. R. Arulappa approved this community as pious union with the purpose of bringing more people to Christ. The motto of Msgr. John Kottaram “Go and teach ye all nations” was inculcated in the minds of Legionaries with the Charism of “Making Christ known and loved wherever He is not known”.
