Report on catholic activities

Our college, the Providence Women’s College, was established in the year 1952 by the Apostolic Carmel Congregation with the aim of offering the service of value based higher education to youth through academic pursuit education of excellence, community service and empowerment of women. Apart from the educational mission the college stresses equal importance on all round development of students instilling Gospel values in them. The various Catholic activities in the college itself proves this. We begin each academic year with the College Mass, thereby entrusting everything in the hands of God. Every day in the college, we begin our classes by invoking the blessings of Almighty. The weekly time-table sets apart one hour for Catechism classes for Catholic students and value education for others. These classes enable the students to attend sessions on various relevant issues aiming towards their personality development. On all first Fridays we have adhoration in the chapel. We also set apart a day for special adhoration annually. Various church feasts like Carmel day, St. Thomas day, St. Treesa of Avila’s feast, Little flower’s feast, Sacred Heart’s feast etc are commemorated with great faith. The feast of our foundress Mother Veronica is celebrated on November 16th.

Every academic year ends with a thanksgiving mass, in which we express our gratitude for all the protection and blessings the Almighty had provided.
