Though we have two well established provinces in Europe the South West Province also is engaged in rendering pastoral service in certain countries in Europe.  As a congregation we had a strong German MSFS community in the pre-second world war times but today we witness a situation where our priests from India have gone to Germany to make the presence of MSFS known.  In this effort South West province has played a vital role by establishing an MSFS Foundation in Oy-Mittelberg in the diocese of Augsburg in 1994 through the instrumentality of Fr. James Mukalel, the Local Superior of the Province in Germany. The Foundation house is named House of St. Francis de Sales. At first, we were in the diocese of Augsburg, and now we work besides Augsburg, in Muenster and Eichstaett.  Three Fathers, James Mukalel, Joseph Pazhayattil and Thomas Moongamackal work in the diocese of Augsburg as parish priests, another confrere, Fr. Joy Vazhappillil works in the diocese of Muenster and three other confreres, George Chirayil, Siby Manickathan and Tomy Mullasseril work in the diocese of Eichstaett as asst. parish priests.  Two more priests, Thomas Mekat and Binod Puthenpurackal are designated for ministry in Eichstaett diocese.  We have also the presence to South West Province confreres in Austria and England.  Two of them, Bobby Puthenparambil and Sibichen Kochuveedu are working in Austria in the diocese of Vienna.  And two others, George Valliamthadathil and Benny Valiaveettil are working in England, in the dioceses of Clifton and Northampton respectively.

Besides these confreres working in Europe the province has also made available the services of a few other confreres for the Generalate and other Provinces in Europe.  All of our confreres try to project our charism as MSFS and spirituality of St. Francis de Sales. Most of our fathers are engaged in pastoral ministry and have three to four parishes to take care.  Hence the main apostolate is parish missions and it was the original mission of our founder. Some of our fathers go to school to teach religion (catechism), which is a must for the priests there.  They prepare the children for first communion and confirmation. They have also many apostolate groups, like association of women. Mother - child groups, youth groups, altar boys and girls groups, Bible groups, prayer groups, meditation groups, liturgical groups, boys and girls groups who are under 14 years of old, senior groups and so on.   All of our fathers are well accepted and appreciated for their works, friendly approach and availability, preaching and celebrating the holy Eucharist.  Although they work in different dioceses they live as one MSFS family, with a local superior and procurator. They come together at least twice a year to have a communitarian sharing as MSFS and once a year for common retreat.
