PATRON OF OUR SCHOOL ST. PATRICK

CHARACTER OF THE SCHOOL

It is named after St. Patrick, who is our Patron Saint. Particius Magnotus Sucatus was his name and he was born of British parents about the year 385. At the age of 16 one day during a raid, he was captured and taken to Ireland, where he was sold as a slave. For 6 years from then he was humbled in truth by hunger and nakedness and thus it led him to spend days and nights in prayer kneeling in snow, frost and rain. He managed to escape back to England where he joined the Cathedral of Auxerie and later became the Bishop of Ireland. From then on, he influenced the Christian Faith deeply.

Being a school run by the minority, its primary purpose is to provide a good, all-round education for Catholic children. However, non Catholic children are also admitted.
