San Francisco Provincial House ,Bareilly { Diocese of Bareilly }
San Francisco Region was born in the year 2000. The infancy time of the region was spent in St. Francis convent Bareilly. After becoming a region, a plot adjacent to St. francis Convent was bought and the foundation stone for the Regional House was laid by Most Rev. Antony Fernadez, Bishop of Bareilly in the presence of many fathers and sisters. The completed house was blessed by Bishop Antony Fernadez on 22nd November 2003.Then the regional Superior Sr. Tracila and team shifted from St. Francis to this house. Candidates were brought to regional house for studies.
In the same compound a home for the aged was constructed. Karuna Bhawan was blessed on 16th June 2007 by Most Rev. Antony Fernadez, Bishop of Bareilly. At present there are six inmates. Perpetual adoration from 8.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m.at Karuna Bhawan also started as an Adoration centre of the province.
When the region was elevated to a province on 17th February 2011, the regional house was also changed in to provincial house. The provincial house members teach in the school, look after the Hindi medium, assist in the parish, prepare adults for Baptism and help the poor and downtrodden of this area by house visiting, moral, financial and spiritual help. We arrange the Holy mass and confession in Malyalam for the spiritual upliftment of migrants who are working in the different hospitals of Bareilly.
