The Baptistine seed took root in Aranthangi, a town in Pudukottai district under Tanjore  Diocese, on 12th June 2021.  The community at Aranthangi took off with three sisters to join hands in collaboration with Montfort Brothers of St. Gabriel, Trichy Province, to discharge the ministries of teaching, pastoral works and vocation animation. On the remarkable day of 26th September 2021, the day of the Foundation of the Congregation, like Scarcella house in Angri, the Baptist Convent was officially erected. During the Eucharistic Celebration Sr. Motchapackiam the Provincial Superior installed Sr. Shamala Margaret as the community’s first Superior.

Sisters are dynamically involved in teaching ministry in collaboration with the Montfort Brothers.  Thanks to the generosity of the Bro. Irudayam, Provincial Trichy Province and his team for constructing a separate residence of the sisters which was solemnly blessed on 6th September 2024.
