A motherhouse or mother house is the principal house or community for a Catholic religious community.[1] One example is the Missionaries of Charity's motherhouse in Kolkata, which functions as the congregation's headquarters.[2] A motherhouse would normally be where the residence and offices of the religious superior of the community would be located.[1] If the community is divided geographically, it is referred to as the provincial motherhouse and would be where the regional superior would be in residence.
