Description | : The reason for the
origin of Thrissur M.I. F.C Convent, is the constant faith in divine providence
and the dreams of development of Rev. Fr. Antony Kavungal and Mother Clara and Mother Louisa. It is the
first branch house of Assisi Province. It was in the year 1919 a Clarist
convent was canonically inaugurated at Thrissur, but from June 1917 onwards
sisters started to stay there for educational purposes. The
Educated sisters are necessary in the field of education. Realising this fact, FCC
superiors decided to start a study house. When Kochi Maharaja declared an order for the free education to
religious people, FCC sisters rented a house of Thazhath Velukkuttan at
Chembukavu and started to live there since 1917 june 14th onwards with the consent of Rt. Rev. John
Menachery .On 25th August 1923 sisters bought a house with some property at
Chembukavu and started to live there. Considering the needs of the
poor, the authorities wished to start a primary school at this place. During
the same time, Rev. Fr. John Pullokkaran came back from England after his higher
studies. Moulding a cultured new generation was a dream sprouted
into his mind. When the efforts and prayers of both Rev. Fr. John and FCC
sisters joined together in 1923 a primary school with first and second classes
started. Later in the midst of
severe economic difficulty, with the help of
Rev. Fr. John Pullokkaran, a new house was constructed and on 1st May 1947, Mar George Alappatt Bishop of
Thrissur blessed and consecrated the new house in the patronship of Mother Mary
Immaculate.
The primary school started in
1923was developed into a high school in the year 1957. When the Kerala
Government decided to take a new step in education, St. Clare's plus two school
was inaugurated in 1998. Along with the
educational activities sisters are actively participating in the pastoral
ministries of parish and diocese. |
