In the year 2004 the Bethany sisters took over the administration of the Good Shepherd Hostel, Jongksha from the Holy Cross Fathers. Previously the girls were looked after by the Clarist Franciscan Missionaries of the Most Blessed Sacrament.
Sr Marina BS the first Hostel Warden began the Hostel ministry with 35 girls from class V – XII. Gradually the number in the hostel got increased. Presently there are 68 girls from class II to XI belonging to the Khasi community. Some of them hail from the parish and others from outside the parish.
The girls are loved and cared for by the sisters. This is a second home for them. They are helped to grow in faith through daily Mass, Prayers, Sunday Catechism, Rosary and other prayers. Values are given and activities and competitions are regularly held to bring out their talents. Sisters constantly accompany the girls through good night talks and daily interactions. It is a joy to cater to the spiritual and material needs of the children of the soil.
