Amalashram was founded in 1943 on the banks of the river Cauvery. It is a beautiful and natural place for prayer and contemplation. This is the first house of the Amala Annai Province. It was the house of theology from 1944 to 1949 for all the Indian Capuchins. It was the Assisi Home for the initital formation of the candidates till 1987. On 23rd May 1988, we started our own theologate here. In June 2009, the theologate was shifted to Francesco, Samayapuram. The ashram looks after the spiritual needs of the people living around. The devotion to St. Antony on every Tuesday attracts a lot of people, irrespective of religions. There is a multipurpose hall which is used for retreats, seminars and marriages. The Golden Jubilee of the House was celebrated on 01st October 1993. Amalashram was officially erected a parish on 16th January 1994. It looks after three sub-stations. Many priests, seminarians and sisters come here to renew themselves spiritually.

Capuchins were the pioneering missionaries to Pondicherry as they served here tirelessly from 1632-1818.We re-entered the archdiocese in 2007 and established our presence. We bought a land in a place called Thiyagadurgam. A friary was built and blessed on 10th March 2008. It was raised to a mission parish on 12th July 2009. The place serves as a house of prayer. The friars engage themselves in AA, pastoral and animation work.

This friary was founded in June 2000. Vallam 1was a substation of Chengelpet town parish, which is the Cathedral of Chengelpet diocese right now. It was separated and given to the Capuchins. The parish has 4 substations. The Infant Jesus Friary was opened in April 2002. We have 3 religious congregations, both men & women, working in the territory of this parish. We have ample scope for spiritual ministry besides parish administration.

Jeevanathi house was founded in October 2001. Sendamangalam was a substation of Kosavampatti parish established in 1934. A friary with Capuchin presence was a long awaited reality in this diocese. The process was initiated in 1998 when Rt. Rev. Micheal Duraisamy, the former bishop, invited us. Sendamangalam is a mission with three substations and 70 Catholic families. The church is dedicated to Our Lady of Good Health. It has become a place of worship not only to christians but also to our Hindu brothers & sisters.

There is a social centre where girls are trained in tailoring, music and dance. It also provides computer education. It has a free legal aid cell too. A convenient parish hall was built in 1986 to cater to the needs of the parishioners. Out of this one vast parish, Chinmayanagar (1989) and Nesapakkam (1999) were created as new parishes. Due to the need of the time, the parish hall was renovated in 2015.
