The Hospitaller Sisters of Mercy (SOM) are an international order of Catholic religious women (Nuns). We completely consecrate our lives to the love and glory of God. Our lives are dedicated to the Works of Mercy through a special vow of Hospitality along with the other three vows of Chastity, Poverty, and Obedience. Our life is animated by the spirit of fraternal love, charity, and compassion, especially for those who are sick, suffering, or in need.
The Congregation was founded on 16 May 1821 by Princess Teresa Orsini Doria. She saw and was touched (moved) by the deteriorating state of the assistance given to the sick in the medical college hospital known as St. John’s Hospital in Lateran, Rome, Italy. Our Princess, with a pure and true spirit of love, compassion, and charity dedicated herself to the service of the sick.
On May 16 1821, having obtained the consent of the Hospital Authority and with the Authorization of His Holiness Pope Pius VII, Princess Teresa joyously accompanied the first four “Dame di Carita” “(Ladies of Charity) to St. John’s Hospital Lateran, Rome. This is how the journey of the Hospitaller Sisters of Mercy began.
In the year 1826 with his Apostolic Authority, Gregory XVI the then Pope approved the Congregation of the Hospitallers called “Sisters of Mercy” and its Constitution & Directory.
Pope Gregory XVI in 1831, on the occasion of the total Consecration of these women to God, imparted his Papal blessing on this Institute, expressing his hope and wish that this new Congregation will continue to grow and assist the sick and the needy physically and spiritually. The Congregation is placed under the protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Mercy, and under the patronage of St. Aloysius Gonzaga whose Feasts we celebrate on 16 May and 2st of June respectively.
The Congregation moved out of Rome on the mission of extending their service to the sick and suffering brethren first in the year 1966 to the United States of America (New Jersey), then in 1978 to Kerala, India.
Today we are spread into eleven countries in Europe, Asia, and Africa where our members render their selfless service irrespective of status, caste, creed, religion, or language
We are in North East since 1996. For 3 years we have collaborated with Salvatorian fathers in Christ Jyothi School, Nagaon. And here in Haibargaon, (Nagaon) from the year 1999. We have started with a ten bedded Clinic which is developed today into a hundred and twenty-five-bedded, full-pledged General Hospital.
