Run by the Sisters of Our Lady of the Missions or RNDM (Religieux Notre Dame des Missions), an international religious congregation, Saint Mary’s College, Shillong, a Catholic Church Institution of higher learning was established in 1937. Historically, the life of Saint Mary’s College has its umbilical cord connected to the parent institute of Saint Mary’s Convent which in turn had its headquarter in Chittagong, Bangladesh.

The Role and Objectives of the College prepared and framed by the vast province for Saint Mary’s Convent/ College in 1935-37, adopted by subsequent councils of the re- delineated Indian Province were documented and registered as the Memorandum of Association of the Congregation under Act XXI of 1860 in July, 1973.

In 1936, a team of dedicated educationists in the persons of (L) Mother M. St. Eusebius Ryder, (L) Mother M. Cathrine Bologna, (L) Mother M. St. Munchin and (L) Mother M. St. Candide were missioned to carry out the spadework, and to establish the college on a firm footing.
