Description
In 1875, Dr. Fennelly, Archbishop of Madras, invited the ‘Brothers of St. Patrick’ to his diocese for taking over the management of a home for the poor boys, which had been founded by Archbishop Carew in 1850. Responding to this invitation, Bro. Ignatius Price, Bro. Paul Hughes and Bro. Fintan Parkinson set out for Madras from Mountrath (Ireland). On arrival, they took over the home,transformed it home-cum-school for the poor boys. They were the pioneers of the Patrician Brothers’ mission in India. The school and home was in Armenian street, the heart of the city at that time. In fact, the Brothers also taught and managed the present St. Mary’s School for 10 years.
