Institutions

Social Activities:

When taking on new forms of apostolate let the brothers show special care for people who are deprived of ordinary pastoral care because of the conditions of their life: the young during decisive moment of their Christian life…burdened with financial pressures, or those harassed by hostility or radical prejudice (const 147.3). Social work in its organized form is restricted to three centers in the Province. Thus, we have Capso at Ponnurunni, Padua Social Centre at Valiathura and Tillery Social Service in Quilon. Poor and deserving girls are given gainful employment at these centers. Attached to Tillery Social Service we have Assisi Press started in 1939 in view of imparting Catholic Literature. The Press is successful in its mission ever since the beginning and it is one of the leading Presses.

Schools:

Even though our constitution speaks of our works of education (147.2), it is not our prime concern. Yet they are the entry point in the northern mission. As the time demanded and having explored situation, we entered into this area apostolate. However, we have three well-recognized, quality schools in North India. St. John’s Academy, Jwala Nagar and St. Joseph’s Academy, Susitna Vihar, in the Union Territory of Delhi and St. Francis Academy in Kala Jamb, in the state of Haryana. The English Medium High School, in Marygiri, Trivandum is another prestigious CBSE school.
