Greetings of happiness and good health!
“Whoever desires to acquire knowledge should first commit oneself to the study of virtue.”(Venerable Mother Seraphina).
Dear parents, I, Sr. Abha, am here to share with you the vision of our school and institution. Our vision is based on the teachings of Mother Seraphina, the foundress of our society.
A true follower of Jesus Christ and a loyal daughter of the church, Mother Seraphina has left behind her a philosophy of education that continues to guide us for ages to come. Her philosophy was her vision, which is now coined as the education system of today. Some of her theories and ideologies are apt in today’s materialistic world.
According to her, the primary role of an educational institute is to instill in the students perennial values and principles for lifelong living. She said, “One of the main tasks of an educator is to study the character and abilities of each pupil, guide them with firmness and maternal tenderness on the path of truth and goodness, and guard them against the allurement of vices.”
She was convinced that intellectual pursuit without the development of character defeated the very aim of education. Hence, primacy was given to the development of character. This vision of hers, on which each school of CFMSS works, is the need of the hour to create a sensitive and humanitarian society.
In order to realize the vision of our institution, dear parents, we need your wholehearted cooperation and support.
Dear parents, I know it is a tough time that we are in during this period of pandemic where we experience a lot of uncertainty and doubts. Yet, as parents, elders, and educators, we have a great role to play in the lives of our children. It is a great responsibility God has entrusted to us. I request you to pay attention to what your ward is engaged with, especially on social media, as they are glued to it most of the time. However busy you may be, try to spend quality time with your children. Your little care and timely intervention will prevent them from falling prey to cyber crimes. Be vigilant towards behavioral changes in your ward and deal with them wisely.
You as parents and we as educators are partners in progress. Let's work together in shaping these tender plants to develop and grow in the right direction to become an asset to the society.
“Let nothing disturb you. Let nothing make you afraid…. If you have God, you will want for nothing… God alone suffices,” says St. Theresa of Avila.
With God all things are POSSIBLE (Bible: Matthew 19:26).
I expect your continued support towards the fulfillment of our vision.
May God bless us all!!!
