A blessing for the entire human kind Anugraha Renewal Centre has its name derived from Genesis 12: 1-3, where God at the climax and conclusion of the Primeval History (Gen 1:1-11:32) is said to have begun something in an entirely new manner by calling a simple and unsophisticated person, Abram. . . . .

The Founding Fathers of the Congregation committed themselves to a life of intense prayer and deep experience of God and also to the building up and renewal of the Church and the people of God at large. After the demise of Thomas Palackal and Thomas Porukara in 1941 and 1946, Kuriakose Elias Chavara with his prophetic insight and vision launched several programmes . . . . .

Anugraha Renewal Centre is a pioneering project of the Department of Pastoral Ministry and Evangelisation of the CMI St. Joseph Province, Kottayam, India. The Congregation of the Carmelites of Mary Immaculate (CMI) is the first indigenous religious congregation in India . . . . .
