After much prayer, study and discerning about beginning a ministry in India, the MissionaryBenedictine Sisters of Tutzing responded to the invitation of the Most Reverend Bishop Mathias Kappil of the mission diocese of Punalur, Kerala. In November 1996, five sisters settled into atemporary residence at Villakudy.<\/p>\n

After a suitable location was found on the outskirts of the city of Punalur, the monastery was constructed on one of the knoll in the Ghats Mountains.<\/p>\n

In January 2000, Shanti Nivas Monastery was blessed. One year later the chapel was dedicated by Cardinal Meiser of Koln Diocese, Germany, a significant benefactor amongs other for the edifice. The community has grown to seventeen professed members who follow the common monastic life with the Liturgy of the Hours.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
