CMI Madagascar Mission is started during the
ministry of Fr. Provincial, Eusebius Kizhakudan in 1986. Three father of CMI
Devamatha Province, Fr. Kuriakose Cheeran, Fr, Paul Moses Chackkalackal and
Fr. Davis Kolengadan (later he joined Benedictine Order) were sent to study
French in Rome. After six months they studied French and received visa to
Madagascar in March 1987. There they studied Malagasy, the local language of
the people for six months and began to work in the area entrusted to CMI
Devamatha Province, the civil district of Mahaboo of the Diocese of Morondava.
After ten years fathers Louis Raj Porathur and Fr. Johnson Thaliyath started
their mission work at Madagascar. Later Fr. Chacko Thalakkottur, Fr. Shaju Aloor
Kizhakoot and Fr. Johnson Thekkudan joined with them.
At the beginning members of Madagascar mission
were visiting mission stations on foot and by bullock carts. Right now the
members of CMI Devamatha Province focused in the field of Education and
Medical services.
