As flag bearers of excellence in professional education in South Kerala, “Lourdes Matha Catholic Educational Society” was given birth by the initiative of Rev. Fr. Joseph Kurinjiparampil, with the encouragement and association of a few Syrian Catholic Parishioners in Thiruvananthapuram, who have left indelible imprints in the segment of education and with the blessings and patronage of His Grace Mar Joseph Powathil, the then Archbishop of Changanacherry.
