A visionary priest who ventured into many humanitarian activities in his lifetime,St. Chavara is a forerunner in the field of education in Kerala and he is also the founder of CMI Congregation, the first indigenous religious congregation in India.

Our Patron, Saint Kuriakose Elias Chavara, took pioneering steps to educate all children with no distinctions with regard to class, creed or family status. It is from his life of adventure that we draw inspiration to carry on the task of imparting wisdom to the generations to come.
