Holy
Cross has already been in Trichy, Mumbai and Kottayam and later in Ghanpur, for some
time, involved either in formation or parish ministry. The local
people that they thus came into contact with were people who, because
they were not educated, could not better themselves or get out of
the rut of poverty in which they were stuck. Thus far, educational
facilities were out of reach to them either because they were too
far away or unaffordable. The religious of Holy Cross soon discerned
that if they were to be of any real service to their people, then
they had to provide them with education that was affordable and
in places that were convenient for them to send their children.
Holy Cross Schools were opened in 2002 and 2003 in a very modest
way, and with very simple structures. Of late, we have opened the
St. Louis School in Mumbai. These schools are still in
the fledgling stage and have classes only at the nursery and kindergarten
levels, but a beginning has been made. These schools are run according
to the characteristic family spirit of Holy Cross, where the religious
who manage the schools maintain friendly, informal and approachable
relations with parents and their teachers and all those who are
associated with their schools. In time to come, Holy Cross Schools
will expand so that become not only centres of academic learning,
but also places where students will be given the opportunity to
grow in genuine human, religious, moral and cultural values and
come to take their legitimate place in society with a dignity and
a future that is their aspiration and right.
