The Hospitaller Order of St. John of God’ is a Religious Institute in the Catholic Church.
Regional divisions of the Order are known as Provinces. The Province is administered by the Provincial. In India Brother George Kizhakkenath is the Provincial. He is assisted in the management of the Province by his ‘Councillors’ (they are four in number and they are Brothers). Together they are called the ‘Provincial Definitory’.
In India the Provincial Curia (headquarters) is based at Poonamallee in Chennai (Madras).
“Brothers, do good yourselves by doing good to others”, said St. John of God, the founder of the Hospitaller Order. He is called ‘the Saint of Charity’, and ‘the Father of the Poor’ and he left his mark on the history of hospitality. Following his example, his followers, the Brothers of St. John of God, started the Pratheeksha Bhavan at Kattappana, in order to participate in the compassionate love of Jesus towards the sick and the poor, which is the identity of the Hospitaller Order.
