Our Founder

His full name is Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort. In fact the Patron Saint of our school was born in a town called MONTFORT in North Western France on 31st January 1673. From his very early childhood he led a virtuous life. He was service minded and showed an extraordinary love for the poor. He had to undergo many trials and tribulations due to this, but he came out of it all with faith, conviction and courage, trusting entirely in God, in keeping with his watchword “God Alone”. He admired and loved Mary the most saintly Mother of Jesus, and hence the addition of 'Marie' to his name.

He became a priest and dedicated his life full time in the service of God and humanity. He went from place to place preaching God's love and compassion and the need for us to be always at the service of others. His students were mostly the poor and the oppressed and he successfully championed their cause against all odds.

In his love for the poor he abased himself so much that he looked rather rugged in appearance. Though his detractors persecuted him to the optimum level, the poor venerated him. He won a special place in their hearts.

Montfort was a great scholar, poet, author of many spiritual books and a powerful orator. He was also an artist gifted in painting and sculpture. The creations of this artist-poet continue to inspire people even today.
