Historical Background
St. Martha’s Hospital was started in Bengaluru in 1886 by the Congregation of Our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd (known as Sisters of the Good Shepherd) on an extensive piece of land gifted to them in 1884 by the Government of the Maharaja of Mysore in appreciation of their services to the sick and suffering during a time of plague and famine.
The congregation of Our Lady of Charity of the Good Shepherd was founded in Angers, France, in 1835, by a French nun, Sr. Mary Euphrasia Pelletier, mainly to deal with the moral and social problems thrown up by the French Revolution, such as large numbers of homeless children, marginalized women, and young girls. She gave the Congregation the name “Sisters of the Good Shepherd”, inspired by the biblical parable of the Good Shepherd, who left the 99 sheep of his fold to seek and find the one sheep that was lost. A woman of great vision and strength of will, she was also a highly compassionate and resourceful innovator who found ways and means to help the helpless, driven by a deep religious faith and a dynamic understanding of fellow human beings.
