Message of the Provincial Superior

The Province of St. Ann, Northern India belonging to the religious Congregation of the Sisters of St. Ann of Providence (SAP) present to you the official website. We gratefully remember our beloved Founders Marquis Carlo Tancredi Faletti di Barolo and Marchioness Giulia Colbert, who founded our religious family for a noble cause on 10th December1834 in Italy. Inspired by their vision and the missionary zeal of Blessed Mother Enrichetta Dominici, the Congregation extended its mission to India in 1871.

In a time of profound digital transformation shaping our global community, this platform has been prayerfully and thoughtfully created as a gateway into the life, mission, and values of our Province. The website serves as a space for communication, communion, and evangelization, offering a glimpse into who we are, what we do, and how we walk together in fidelity to our Charism. Whether you are a member of our Congregation, a partner in mission, a young person discerning a call to religious life, or a visitor seeking to know us better, we warmly welcome you.

In these times, where technology plays a crucial role in fostering communion and sharing the Good News, we see this initiative not merely as a tool but as a ministry in itself. We hope this platform reflects our commitment to the Gospel, and our desire to be instruments of Providence to the little ones and the poor.

On behalf of all the Sisters of the Province and the Provincial Team, I extend a cordial welcome to one and all. May this website be a blessing to all who visit our site at https://provinceofstannnorthernindia.com/

Sr. Ashly Jose
