Withstanding all the challenges and difficulties the educational mission has offered selfless service to the people. The Catholic mission has also undertaken the responsibility of running hostel for the children from faraway places. Down the decades thousands of students are benefitted from the facilities available in the hostel and settled down in their lives.
