 The Benedictine fathers ventured to the north in 1980. After a long search they decided to settle down at Shivpuri, which fell in the limits of the then diocese of Jhansi. The warm welcome and the fatherly care of Bp. Frederick D'Souza touched the hearts of the pioneers and the Frs. George, Hugh, Jacob and Bernard chose Shivpuri with the blessings of the Abbot General Simon Tonini and at the advice of Fr. Abraham Palakudy precisely because there was no Catholic presence in the entire district of Shivpuri. And thus Jeevan Jyoti Ashram was established in 1982. The monks started to take care of the spiritual needs of the few Catholics working in different parts of the district: Badarwas, Karera, Khaniyadhana, Kolaras and Pohri. Bp. Frederick D'Souza's efforts brought in the Sisters of St. Charles Borromeo, who took care of the St. Charles' School in 1993. The Deena Sevana Sabha followed them also in 1993. The monks procured some land on the Circular Road and opened St. Benedict's School in 1998.  The Sisters of Our Lady of the Garden came in 2013 to help out in the above school. In Jeevan Jyoti Ashram a private oratory for the monks was built and blessed by Abbot General Antony P. OSB in January 2022. In Jeevan Jyoti Parish Church, a Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes was built and blessed by Bishop of Jhansi in September 2023.
