Driving Force
The Catholic Church has played a vital
role in the field of education, Health care and Social Service.
In tune with the common policy of the church, the Archdiocese
of Thrissur has an excellent track record of a century in
these areas. Education was the prime concern of the authorities
of the Diocese ever since its inception. Started with St.Thomas
high school in 1889 , the ministry had a non stop race and
today it has a number of establishments under its umbrella
including 6 aided and 17 unaided colleges and many professional
institutions in addition to a large number of schools of various
levels. St.Thoams college,Maha Jubilee Training College and
Jubily Mission Medical College are prominent among them. In
the field of technical education, the Diocese has made its
contribution establishing Algappa Polytechnic college, Thrissur
and a number of Technical Training Institutes. Despite the
above, different congregations of Nuns and Priests own educational
Institutions under the religious jurisdiction of Archdiocese
of Thrissur. |
