The first religious congregation of the Brothers under Syro-Malabar rite of the Catholic Church was founded by (Late) Mar Augustine Kandathil on 19 th March 1931. The main charism of this congregation is caring the poor, the orphans, impart technical education, provide job oriented courses for the youth, health service apart from social, economic and educational both formal and non-formal for the needy and disadvantaged members of the society. The congregation is also catering to the various economic and social needs of the school drop-outs and econo-mically poor of the society. Skill development and related training programmes are being regularly organized for the deserving candidates, so that the youth are able to place themselves with various organizations within and worldwide both in government and non-governmental sector. Towards imparting good quality healthcare at affordable rates the congregation started a Hospital at Mookkannoor in the year 1951. This Hospital had a very humble beginning to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of Priestly Ordination of the founder (late) Arch Bishop Mar Augustine Kandathil, thus accepting the name as “Mar Augustine Golden Jubilee Hospital” or M A G J Hospital. Over the years, the institution grew in size adding new facilities in appropriate timings, duly imbibing the requirement of the people.

 

This Hospital was set up in a rural area, where there is lack of medical facilities. It is our vision to give proper medical treatment to all the rural folk, at affordable cost.
