St. Joseph’s Training
College was born out of the educational vision of Blessed Kuriakose
Elias Chavara, the founder of the Carmelites of Mary Immaculate (CMI)
congregation. Blessed Chavara was a great educationalist and a social
reformer of the 19th century. He could foresee the changes
in the environment and make strategic moves to build up a better society
based on fatherhood of God and brotherhood of humanity.
We, The Carmelites of Mary Immaculate, Following the example of our Founder
Blessed Kuriakose Elias Chavara, consider education an integral part of the
human development for the fulfillment of one’s individual and social
responsibilities.
We aspire towards creating a just and humane society where dignity of the
human person is respected, where unjust social structures are challenged,
where our cultural heritage of ahimsa, religious harmony and national
integration are upheld, and where the poor and marginalized are specially
taken care of.
Our Institutions are open to all students irrespective of their caste and
creed; they are accepted and cherished as they are; and helped to grow in
their cultural, social and religious traditions. As they are privileged to
be in our institutions, they will also have the right to get acquainted with
the Person of Jesus Christ and His Gospel.
For the realization of these we expect teachers, students and parents to
share the vision and co-operate with us whole-heartedly.
