The ministry of Nurses was given prime importance by Eparchy of Kalyan since its Inception. JNF tries to bring thousands of nurses of our diocese working in different hospitals across the Eparchy under one roof. The Nurse Ministry was formed in 1989 by his Grace Bishop Mar Paul Chittilapillly and Msgr. Thomas Thalachira. In the Year 2002, the ministry took its new name ‘Jesus Nurses Fraternity’ with the initiative of Fr Shaji Parikappallil. Presently led by Fr Joseph Chalissery, JNF reaches out to the welfare of the nurses in the diocese and provides pastoral care for them.
