MISSIONARY FAMILIES
Chittilappilly family- making disciples
It was the time when all were talking about evangelization 2000. Our hearts too were set on fire. The thought came to us that until someone was willing to fore go their security in life this hype about Evangelizing the world would only be ‘Big talk’. Someone would have to pay the price and give up one’s own plan so that the Lord’s plan could be realized. This thought made us take the plunge. A Word of God that gave us courage was, “For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.” Mt 16:26. Now after 14 years ( 1997- 2011) on looking back there is a sense of fulfillment that we were found worthy to be His instruments.

II. Pallan family- building net work of evangelizers
Motto: To build His Kingdom for His Glory pursuing path of Love. The hunger and thirst to make the Lord known inspired by the experience of God's love made us to take the commitment as a full time missionary family. We find it a privilege and for that very reason a greater obligation of bearing witness, participating in the mission of the Church. Pursuing love in the community life , we strive to become a total, free, sincere, fruitful self gift to God and to the people.

III. Lobo family- dynamic organization

Motto: To be rooted in His love to proclaim Him.” After our personal encounters with the Lord, both of us were motivated to surrender our lives to Him. For us Santvana is a big family where we have the freedom to learn, make mistakes, to be ourselves, i.e. to be fully human and to aspire to become divine in the nursery of love.
