The proclamation of Jesus’ Mission complements the Socio –Medical ministry. The care of the sick and the needy needs professionalism and tenderness, free gestures, immediate and simple touch through which you feel the other is “precious”.

The SJT Sisters who are involved in the social and medical apostolate try their best to imitate the Mission of Jesus keeping in mind the Charism.

Objectives:

• To nurture the Spirit of healing and Divine presence in our health care apostolate in order to reach out to the sick and suffering.

Sr Stephanie SJT – The Miracle worker

Sr Stephanie went to nurse the cholera stricken patients and “her name is still revered because of the intrepid charity she displayed … and she went about doing the work of a nurse, even that of a doctor we can say, for she always brought relief, even when she did not cure … One day, a mother brought a little boy who was three years old and had not yet walked. The doctors could do nothing for him. Sr Stephanie sat on a bench, took the little one on her lap, and gently and for a long time caressed the small crippled leg. All of a sudden she said, “let us see if you know how to walk… and she put the child down on the ground. And the child walked”. (History Pgs 128 & 129)
