Our Heavenly Patroness

St. Therese of Lisieux, also known as Little Flower is the heavenly patroness of the school. She was a Carmelite nun born on 02/01/1873 at Lesbisonex (France) and flourished in holiness and charity in the Carmelite convent at Lisieux. She challenged the world inviting to live a life of simplicity in its maximum and thereby to attain holiness. She had a very short life span of 24 years. She inspires us to conquer the world with love and simplicity.

Very Rev. Fr. Basilius Panat CST the founder father of Little Flower Congregation was born on 15th February 1891 His parents were Mathai and Eleswa. In1907 Thomas completed his studies at the middle school. After his high school studies at St. Albert's High School, Ernakulam and at St. Mary's High School, Aluva he completed his seminary studies at Puthenpally from 1913 to 1918 and 26 December 1918 he was ordained a Priest. He started the Congregation out of his God-experience in Christ enhanced by his very personal devotion to St. Therese of Child Jesus. Simplicity and childlike surrender of the Little Flower to the will of God the Father had struck deep roots in his heart and dedicated himself for the development of the villages at Mookannur where he was appointed. He was an inspiration not only to the young and the children but also to the people of all ages. The following words of Jesus inspired Fr. Basilius “Go and Do likewise” (Luke 10:37)
