History
The Nazareth Sisters came in to existence at Jaswantnagar in the Etawah mission on 22nd June 2009. It is a mission of Changanachery Archdiocese and is in the diocese of Agra. Our sisters provided services in the education field, with the help of diocesan fathers. The Sisters commenced teaching at St. Peter's School from June 2009 onwards.
Jaswantnagar is a remote village in Uttar Pradesh. The People depend on agriculture for most of their income. They usually do not send their children to school, instead they assist their parents in grazing their cattle. As the result, the sisters visit the families in the villages and motivate the children to attend school.
