The Faith Of The People

🌟 The Journey of the Salesians in Naigaon
The Salesians arrived in Naigaon in May 1999, led by Fr. William Falcao, who laid the foundation of the school with just one kindergarten division and classes I and II. By 2003, the school received official recognition and proudly sent off its first batch of SSC students that same March.
In 2008, under the leadership of Principal Fr. Bonnie Borges, a junior college was launched with a Commerce stream. Two years later, in 2010, the institution secured approval to introduce I.T. and Computer Science. Although plans for an Arts section were considered, they were shelved due to a lack of students and faculty. The school—and now the college—have played a vital role in nurturing the spiritual life of the parish. Successive principals, including Fr. Flovi D’Souza, have continued to expand and enrich the educational offerings.
