Bangalore, Karnataka, India

Established 2004

The Bangalore province of the Sisters of Notre Dame was established in southern India in 2004 by the Sisters of the Patna, India, province. The Bangalore province was formed due to the growth of our ministries and of our SND Congregation in India, in addition to the travel distances across the country. Sisters from the Bangalore province currently minister in the following states: Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Odisha, Tamil Nadu and Telangana in 16 communities. The Sisters also minister in collaboration with parishes and like-minded NGOs (DIN) in the fields of Education and pastoral and catechetical out – reach programmes to people in the peripheries.
