Mother Mary Francesca De Chantal
Co- Foundress

Mother Chantal (Philomina Vallayil) was born on 23 December 1880 to Mathew and Mariamma at Champakulam. From a young age, she was impelled by a desire to love the Lord with her whole heart and give herself in service to the poor and needy. She had taken a firm decision right from her childhood which she kept intact till her death that she would not cause pain to Jesus or Mother Mary. Showing deep interest in spiritual activities, she attended daily Mass and was an active member of the Sodality of our Lady.

Fr. Thomas Kurialacherry also was aware that a leader or collaborator was essential to lead and guide the young congregation he had in his dream. From his meeting with Philomina, he knew that she was the right person to fulfill what he had planned from the Perpetual Adorers chapel in Rome. Mother Chantal was a deeply religious woman and that was the source of her extraordinary courage and strength. During the formation period, the Founder become aware of her motherly love, courage, strength and determination that was essential for keeping up with the demands of a new congregation.
