Our Founder – Servant of God

Fr. Adrian Caussanel SJ

Born at Mazieres, Aveyron District, France in the year 1850. Young Caussanel joined the Society of Jesus in 1875. After having undergone his religious formation he landed at Pondicherry in India in 1888.

A frail man, with bright eyes and an indomitable will, went about doing good espousing the cause of the poor and pleading for social justice. He was undaunted in the face of opposition. The oppressed found in him a champion of their cause and a crusader for the realization of their hopes and aspiration. When justice was denied to them people looked up only to him to fight for them

Co-Founder & Patron

Rev. Bro. E.M.J. Angelo SHJ was born on 04.06.1880 at Keelamidalam, Kulachal in Kanyakumari District, Tamil Nadu. He was one among the foundational group members and dedicated himself totally for the greater glory of God till his last breath

He was blessed with the high mental calibre and his thirst for acquiring knowledge lead him to establish a well-equipped library at the Generalate, Palayamkottai.
