Saint Kuriakose Elias Chavara Day

.. A day to know better about Saint Chavara..

Saint Chavara day was on 3 January 2020, but due to some inconvenience our college celebrated Saint Chavara day on 9 January 2020.

Mar Kuriakose Elias Chavara, C.M.I. (also known as Saint Kuriakose Elias Chavara) (10 February 1805 – 3 January 1871) was an Indian Catholic priest and social reformer. He is the first canonised Catholic male saint of Indian origin and belongs to the Syro-Malabar Church, an Eastern Catholic Church based in the state of Kerala. He was the co-founder and first Prior General of the first congregation for men in the Syro-Malabar Church, now known as the Carmelites of Mary Immaculate (C.M.I.), and of a similar one for women, the Congregation of the Mother of Carmel (C.M.C.).

The college conducted a programme to make us aware of the greatness of Saint Chavara. Two sisters among our seniors blessed the event as they presented a well organized idea about Fr. Chavara. Each words felt magical and touched our hearts. At the end, our dearest director of our college, Rev Fr. Sony Sebastian gave all of us a book of saint Chavara as well as sweets. It was a day which made us understand the importance of Saint Chavara in the education system.
