The Society of JMJ took roots with an objective of education but the charism of the Society impelled the Sisters to care for the sick in accordance with the signs of the times. Thus, we devote ourselves with compassion, rendering loving service to bind the wounded and bring about the fullness of life through our healing ministry

When Dr.Mary Glowrey felt that it was her “privilege to rise up in haste and cross, not the hills but the seas and carry Jesus to many a mother and child”, sailed to India surrendering herself completely to God’s will and joined the Society of JMJ and became the first Sister doctor (Sr.Mary of the Sacred Heart) to practice medicine in India. She holds the honor of being the Pioneer of JMJ Health care ministry in India, Foundress of the Catholic Health Association of India (CHAI), and a source of inspiration to start St.John’s Medical College, Bangalore.
