HOLY
FAMILY SCHOOL
On the
educational front, the Holy Family School (a parish institution)
was started in 1945, in an old single-storeyed structure by Fr.
Denzil Keating S.J.,
with Miss Maud D'Costa as its first Head Mistress.
In 1963,
a new building adjoining the Church was inaugurated.
A few
years later, it was felt that the present building was insufficient
to cater to the growing number of parishioners. Hence a decision
was taken to sell the building and construct a more spacious one
with its own play ground on a plot of land provided by Vinayalaya.
On 22nd October 1985, Fr. Lisbet D'Souza, Jesuit Provincial,
blessed the foundation
stone of this new school building.
On 16th July 1988, His Lordship, Bishop Ferdinand Fonseca,
blessed the new school building and on 7th Jan 1989, under the
tenure of Fr. Tony J. D'souza S.J., as Vicar and Fr.
Francis Gonsalves as Principal, the new school building was
formally inaugurated by His Eminence Simon Cardinal Pimenta,
Archbishop of Bombay.
