Tarbes Nivas (Provincial House)
Bangalore
Tarbes community
After the first Provincial Chapter of 1971 in Bangalore, Sr Pauline
Lopez and her team resided in St Joseph’s Convent, Fraser Town till
1976. It then became necessary to have a separate house for the
provincial community. In 1976, Jyothi Nivas College was shifted to
Koramagala; some of the hostelites, who were accommodated in the
house opposite the Cathedral, (earlier bought from Mr. L.T. Pinto). This
house now vacant, was found suitable for the Provincial Community.
The first community was installed on 17 th July 1976.
The community was inaugurated with a prayer service. It was named
Tarbes Nivas, after the beloved name of our Institute. All the elderly
sisters from the Bangalore Community were invited to this event. Sr
Genevieve Yrondy, our Superior General, who visited India at that time,
helped Sr Pauline a great deal, to furnish the house and start the
Provincial Community.
The present Provincial Community consists of the following members:
- Sr Teresa Paul - Superior
- Sr Catherine Charles - Provincial Superior
- Sr Rosy N.R - Councillor & Secretary
- Sr Maria Conceicao - Provincial Treasurer
- Sr Margadham - Member
