History[edit]
In 2003, the diocese decided to open a school in the district headquarter of Chandauli. Fr. Lawrence Mendonca was asked to execute this task. Residing in Ramnagar, he worked to find a piece of land and in August 2003 he bought about five acres of land in the vicinity of Chandauli town. In April 2004, he bought another piece of land for an approach road from the irrigation canal to the school campus. In a couple of months, boundary wall was built, a tube well was sunk and a culvert on the irrigation canal was built. As the access to the land became feasible to get the materials for construction, foundation stone for the school was laid on January 15, 2005. In a couple of months administrative block and a few class rooms got ready.
On April 21, 2005 the school building was blessed and inaugurated by Bishop Patrick D'Souza. Though there were a few children the classes started immediately and was closed for summer vacation. The sisters of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament (SABS) joined on the staff of the school. On June 30, 2005 Fr. Lawrence started to reside in Chandauli and three sisters too started to reside in the school campus. As there was no place of worship a class room was turned into a chapel and the sisters were accommodated in the staff room. In the beginning there were only four communicants i.e. the celebrant and three sisters. In the meantime some people living close to the town started coming and also the employees of the school.
