Initially the sisters took up residence in a rented place but thanks to the generosity of Mrs Ponnamma Kandanat, who donated her land for the needs of the people, Maria Bhavan was built.
​
In addition to managing the home for the aged, the sisters conduct family visitation, children and youth groups, home-based education support for children, relief work, and livelihood projects for destitute women.
