The Congregation of the Sons of the Immaculate Conception (CFIC) is a lay religious congregation of Pontifical Right within the Catholic Church, founded by Blessed Luigi Maria Monti on 8 September 1857. Inspired by the Gospel, the Congregation is dedicated to the care of the sick and the education and upliftment of orphaned, abandoned, and needy youth.

The Congregation is composed of priests and brothers who are professionally trained and engaged in diverse ministries, particularly in the fields of healthcare, education, and social service. Through their apostolic mission, the members work for the promotion of the poor and respond to the emerging needs of society in fidelity to Gospel values.

At present, the Congregation is active in 23 countries across the world, including India. The Generalate (Global Head Office) of the Congregation is located in Rome, Italy, while the Provincial House in India is situated in Kottayam, Kerala.

The Indian Province of CFIC was established in 1973. In its early years, the Congregation focused on promoting vocations and forming young members for future ministry. Gradually, it expanded its presence by establishing communities in various parts of Kerala and later extended its mission to other states. Today, CFIC is present in Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Odisha and Punjab.

Currently, the Congregation operates 20 centres in India, including three CBSE schools, a nursing college, affiliated arts and science colleges, and several training centres. The members are actively involved in pastoral ministry, educational apostolate, care of orphans and persons with disabilities, retreat preaching, hospital ministry, and missionary service in different parts of the world.
