Organization Details

St. Joseph’s is Born In the early 1800’s the Catholic community felt that there was an urgent need of setting up an institution for the educational and spiritual development of the Catholic youth in Calcutta. Hence, under the aegis of " The Committee of Catholic Charity Schools" a Free School was established in the church compound of Our Lady of the Rosary, Moorgihatta, and by March, 1836, there were more than 200 boys in attendance. In 1839, Mr. Cooper rented the premises at 68, Bow Bazar Street to the Committee of Catholic Charity Schoois and two schools were immediately set up there.
