About the Founding of the IMS

The Journey of the IMS Pioneers began by a small but a giant prophetic step taken by Rev. Fr. Gasper A. Pinto on 3rd November 1941 in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, INDIA. Varanasi, a sacred city of India, attracts millions of pilgrims every year for spiritual realization and enlightenment.

For the Church in India his arrival in the city of religion and spirituality, light and wisdom, was a realization of her missionary dream with a mission of dialogue and integration of the spiritual and cultural heritage of India and the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
