Our Institutions

Started in 1929 on the northern side of the old church as a primary school for Classes 1 to 5. Its first headmaster was Mr. Mariyasingha Thevar. The school advanced greatly under Fr. Santhana Mariyan, during whose time it was raised to a middle school covering Classes 1 to 8, with Mr. Mariyabakkiya Thevar as headmaster. Later, under Fr. Mel Swamy, children joined from the Karunai Illam orphanage run by the Sisters of Our Lady of Sorrows. Sr. Kasmir Kumari was the first sister to serve as its headmistress. In 1991 the foundation stone for a new school building within the parish house compound was laid by Bishop S.T. Amalanathar.

Founded on 18 October 1962 in the hamlet of Kandhasamipuram near Nazareth, and established under the supervision of the Sisters of Our Lady of Sorrows. Sr. Catherine Mary served as its first headmistress. The school works under the motto “May your light shine”, forming its pupils in knowledge, discipline, self-control and humane conduct through faith and a full education. A flag hoisting is held every Monday, when the children wear blue uniform. A students' association and a parent–teacher association are also held.

Situated in Thoppoor, one of the substations of Pragasapuram parish, close to the Our Lady of Lourdes chapel. Local elders place its founding at around 1905. Its pupils are noted for both academic progress and discipline. As the old building had fallen into disrepair, a new school building was raised in 1990 during the time of Fr. Joseph Amalraj.

Said to have been running some sixty-seven years before the Our Lady of Lourdes church at Udayarkulam was built, the school stands on the southern side of the present Matha church. It received its first government recognition around 1939. Originally roofed with thatch, it was later moved into the house built as the priest's residence. A students' association and a parents' association are held.
