The Society reached the Indian shores within a short span of its inception, to be precise, on 27th December 1927 in answer to the expressed need and request for extending our ministry and apostolate to the Indian sub continent. Ever since the inauguration of the Indian foundation, education was discerned to be and has been an integral part of our mission an apostolate in India. In our educational apostolate, it has been our quest and mission "to care for the whole person even when material values threaten to undermine the spiritual and religious values". As of today in India the Society runs full fledged standard educational institutions, imparting quality education, using English or the vernacular as the medium of instruction.
