The Congregation of the Sisters of the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament (SABS) has its origin from the deep personal Eucharistic experience of Venerable Mar Thomas Kurialacherry,(1873-1925) an ardent devotee of the Holy Eucharist. The inner call received by him was that Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament must be known, loved, and adored by all, always and everywhere. He pursued this inspiration with courage, stability and absolute trust and founded the Adoration congregation on 8th December, 1908 at Champakulam in Kerala, India with the co-operation of Mother Mary Chantal the first member and Co-foundress of the Congregation. The humble beginning of the Congregation was in cattle shed in Edathua, Kerala, India. The vision of our Founder about our congregation was to form the community of virgins who would be adorers of the Blessed Sacrament like the Seraphs who stand in attendance before the Lord of Host, incessantly singing hymns and praises to His glory.(Is 6:3)
Independent units of the Congregation under the Bishops concerned were unified under one Superior general on 15th Sep.1963. His Holiness Pope Paul VI raised it to the Pontifical Status on 11th Feb.1968.
