V.Rev. Fr. Sebastian L.C. Presentation
Our Religious Congregation is known as SISTERS OF VISITATION CONGREGATION OF ALLEPPEY (S.V.C.), founded at Kattoor in the Diocese of Alleppey by V.Rev. Fr. Sebastian L.C. Presentation a holy and foresighted diocesan priest on 1924.
Ours is a Latin and Pontifical Rite.Being realized that the upliftment and progress of the local community is possible only through education,this humble man devoted his life to see this dream fulfilled.
Rev.Fr.Sebastian L C Presentation was born in the noble ‘Presentation’ family of kattoor on August 10th 1867. After completing the formal education from Leo Xlll school, Alappuzha,he was sent to Goa for his higher studies and in the year 1893 he was ordained from the famous Rashol seminary.
It was his earnest desire from childhood onwards to see the local community which comprises the backward people also be benefited by the service rendered by the sisters.
While doing service as the vicar of St.Michael’s church, Kattoor, he started Holy family L.P.school on may 7th 1920. Having felt the need for giving proper education to the girls by sisters them selves, he struggled hard to start a convent in Kattoor . Later with the permission of Bishop of Kochi, His excellency Rt Rev.Alexander Choolapprambil, Bishop of kottayam provided assistance for the Visitation sisters of kottayam Diocese to help to start a convent in kattoor.
Relying entirely on Divine providence, Holy family Visitation convent was officially inaugurated on January 21,1924 at Kattoor.
