Description | : The reason for the origin
of Alphonsa Bhavan was the idea of the 2nd Vatican Council, which
was a new star in the history of Catholic Church. The aim of this convent was
the protection of the students who are studying in the parallel college. The blessing of the convent was
done by Mar Joseph Kundukulam. It was inaugurated to commemorate the blissful
moments of the proclamation of Alphonsamma as Blessed. Alphonsa Bhavan continues its journey by witnessing
Alphonsa spirituality in the parish and also in the apostolic field. Alphonsa
hostel is the integral part of this convent. By the order of the Educational
Director, the L. P section of St. Sebastion C.G.H.S was separated from high
school and Rev. Sr. Leontia was appointed as the first headmistress. In 1988,
in order to vacate the school building from the church courtyard, a new school
building was attached to Alphonsa Bhavan. When the importance of English medium
schools increased, the local people expressed their desire to start an English
medium school at Nellikunnu. So since 1991 June onwards an English medium
school was started working in the Don Bosco College building under the name Alphonsa
Convent English medium school. By listening the crying of the people, Alphonsa
bhavan sisters do their loving service in the parish. Through their different
apostolic activities they are witnessing God's love. |
