Fr. Bernhard Bendel School, Church Colony

Our ministry in the field of education started in the year 2001 when we were establishing our mission in various places. The first of such effort was realized when were started a kindergarten at Church Colony way back in 2001 and today it has grown to be a high school in English medium catering to the educational needs of the people where we are rendering our pastoral service.

The school has a humble beginning making use of the little chapel and the presbytery to conduct the classes. As the years passed by more and more children turned up to join our institution and we initiated the work to set up infrastructure for the school. Thus in the year 2003 we built a school and was blessed and inaugurated in October 2003. It coincided the silver jubilee year (1978-2003) of our presence in India. Later in 2005 an extension work was undertaken to accommodate the increasing number of students as well as an auditorium were built. Today the school extends an integral formative education to many children and is recognized by the Government of Telegana.

The school marked commendable progress under the proficient guidance of our priests. Fr. M. Prakash was in charge as the school was getting shape with 30 children coming to the first set-up nursery section. Following him, Fr. B. Anand was appointed the Head Master from 2003-2006 while Fr. Roy John, the Provincial Superior was the correspondent from 2003-2007. In 2006, Fr. Thomas Puthiyaparabmil took the responsibility as the Head Master and he worked there till Fr. Jaimon Dominic who took charge in 2008. Those responsible for the school are sharing the same presbytery with the parish priest. Thus the work is done in collaboration both in parish as well as in the school.
