The Ursuline Franciscan Congregation of Northeast India is a vibrant community inspired by the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the charism of St. Angela Merici and St. Francis of Assisi. Rooted in faith, simplicity, humility, and compassionate service, we are committed to proclaiming God’s love through education, healthcare, social outreach, pastoral ministry, and the promotion of human dignity.

The Ursuline Franciscan Congregation opens its portals to the Catholic men and women of goodwill to collaborate in fulfilling its mission, as entrusted by its Founder and pioneering members. Drawing on its rich history, the congregation established the Ursuline Franciscan Lay Association (UFLA) in 1887, originally founded as the Association of St. Ursula by Fr. Urban Stein SJ. This initiative aimed to involve lay faithful in both Church-related activities and secular missions, allowing them to share in the life, ministry, charism, and spirituality of the Congregation.

The Holy Rosary Convent, Jeppu Unit of the Ursuline Franciscan Lay Association was initiated in 2012, at the very inception of this lay wing of the Congregation. It was founded on 12th April 2012, during the Post-Centenary Silver Jubilee celebrations of the Congregation at Rosario Cathedral, Mangalore.
