Prompted by the pulse of the Holy Spirit and being sensitive to the concrete needs of the time young Italian gentleman Paul Danei Responded with enthusiasm to God’s call and formed the Passionist Congregation in 1720, in the picturesque Italian city of Como. Their mission was to dedicate themselves to the love of the crucified Lord and proclaim his love to everyone according to the needs of the time. While branching out, they chose to set up an educational institution in the ancient city of Vellore Tamil Nadu. The regional superior from USA, Fr. Joe Moons and the local council wanted to impart education for the moral and spiritual upliftment of the young children. Under the direction of the gracious Fr. Joe Moons two courageous, high spirited priests Fr. Sebastian KX and Fr. Xavier USA bought three acres of land from the local people and built a house and a small school for kids.
