St. Mary's Catholic Nursing Institute" is a unique creation of the Heavenly Father bestowed through the S.M.R.A. sisters. In the history of the S.M.R.A. congregation, education and healthcare have been the primary and far-reaching mission fields. Keeping in mind the congregation's mission and objective of uplifting uneducated, subjugated, and oppressed women in rural, neglected, and superstition-bound areas at the forefront, the sisters have been working everywhere across the country.

Since the foundation of the SMRA congregation, sisters have been involved in the mother and child care services as nurses through various dispensaries. Drawing strength from prayer, the nurse sisters are serving as the hands of the healing Jesus through patient listening, carefully touching the physical and mental wounds, and wisely giving medicine, etc. The people believe in and are pleased with the sisters' service.

God’s grace is abundant. Thus, SMRA sisters started serving people more professionally through their ‘St. Mary’s Mother and Child Care Hospital’. In this way, SMRA sisters are touching human lives every day, and in turn, their own lives are being touched by the people. Moreover, the nurse sisters have been working for the cause of life, playing a special role in women's empowerment.
Particularly, as SMRA, we sincerely desire that more ideal, compassionate, dedicated, and soulful nurses like us be raised. With the objective of turning this endeavour into reality, the sisters dreamed of establishing a nursing institute, which materialised in 2021 with the establishment of "St. Mary's Catholic Nursing Institute".
