MSFS

Charis Bhavan

One of the primary objects in founding the Congregation of the MSFS was preaching missions to revive the slackened faith of the people. In India as charismatic movement began to influence the faith of the people some of the MSFS priests got involved in. Rev. Fr. James Manjackal was one of the pioneers of Charismatic Movement in Kerala. He is one of the best preachers Kerala has ever seen. CHARIS BHAVAN reflects the untiring efforts of Fr. James Manjackal for an MSFS prayer house for the laity in Kerala. Fr. Devasia Kuzhupil donated a plot of land for this purpose, from his patrimony. Thus in 1989 the retreat house was established in Athirampuzha in Kottayam. Frs. Devasia Kuzhuppil and James Manjackal are the founders of this movement that transforms the lives of people in Kerala since a decade and half. Constituted into a formed community in August 2010
