The congregation of the Sisters of the Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament (SABS) which was founded on 8th December 1908 at Champakulam in the Archdiocese of Changanacherry, Kerala , India has its origin from the deep personal experience of the Eucharistic presence of the Venerable Mar Thomas Kurialacherry (1873 - 1925), an ardent devotee of the Holy Eucharist. The inner call received by him was that the Lord 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 in the Lord and founded the Adoration congregation in 1908 ,with the co-operation of Servant of God Mother Mary Francesca de Chantal, the Co - foundress.
