I visited De Paul Institution with District Officers. The dedication and commitment with which Fr. Thomas and his team are working in this remote part of the District is exemplary. Your effort in providing quality education to the children of deprived communities would go in a long way in shaping the careers of hundreds of students. I am sure that your effort in creating on inclusive egalitarian society would inspire among many in this District and State for working selflessly for the people. Your work in the field of sustainable and eco-friendly development is worth emulating in many more villages. Looking forward to exiting relationship & association.

I am glad to visit this Vavarath village. I am really astonished to observe the drastic changes and development of this institution. I would like to appreciate the Director, the Principal, the teachers and all the members of the non-teaching staff for the wonderful work you have put in leading this institution to scale such heights. Indeed our Sisters are rendering their selfless service to make this endeavour a great success. May the Lord bless you and keep you.

Rev.Fr. Thomas, & Sisters, On behalf of IGNOU Family, I would like to extend our heartiest greetings to one and all at the De Paul.
This exposure visit had certainly made us all to learn to have ‘desire’ in life. We could see those images & landscapes of tiny tots and other habitations living in perfect harmony and peace in the name of development.
We could appreciate a development which is people centric and guided by the principles of love and trust.
God bless us all to have stood to His expectations to love each other, care for one another & to take the first step as you did long time back.
Your hospitality was another sign of affection & support to welcome us with whole heart.

Today I, along with District Officials, visited the Institute run by the Mission. I am very much elated in seeing the good work done by Rev. Fr. Thomas and his team in this remote village. Apart from school and education the Institute takes up other social issues and developmental issues with the District administration. The work done by them is really commendable. I wish them all the very best in their efforts in pursuing the development initiatives in this District. Good Luck,

We, four (Bishop + 3 Fathers) from the mission Diocese of Chanda are very happy to be here. Within a short time of your stay here you and the CMC Sisters have made this Mission Station a model one attracting many people from all walks of life.

We could experience the unity – we feeling – here among the staff. May the Good Lord bless all of you and all those who are coming in contact with you.

I am totally impressed as to how you could change this barren, rocky, dry and hilly place full of greenery. May the Almighty bless you and the Sisters who devote your life for the welfare of the Tribal people of this area. I also pray to the Almighty to bless your families too to give such children like you to the Society.
Wish you all the best in all your future endeavours.

Dear Fr. Thomas & Sisters,

‘Give Thanks to the Lord for He is good, His love endures forever.’-Ps. 136.

Coming to your Centre and seeing all that you are doing for the people of this place is truly inspiring. All the projects, that you have taken up with great planning and careful implementation, has taught us a great deal.

Your passion, dedication, and simplicity are seen in everything you do. As guests we have treated us with a lot of care and warmth. Your words about going to a place where you are needed and not wanted and remaining there until you are wanted and not needed holds an important lesson for us.
As students who are genuinely interested in working for the upliftment of the poor people your example guides us in the right direction. Thank you very much for everything. May God bless you and keep you so that you can go from strength to strength.

As I made the unannounced visit to the School today, I saw that the educational environment, Staff rooms, classrooms, school premises etc. were seen excellent and rejunavating. The classrooms were neat and commendable. The atmosphere of the school premises is beautiful and worth mentioning. I felt very beautiful seeing the attractive trees, proper use of the water and wastewater management. As it was a holiday students were not seen in plenty. If I am to praise the staff, Headmistress, and the founder Fr. Thomas, I felt that will be very improper and insufficient. I felt very comfortable seeing the school and surroundings. My hearty wishes for your activities in the future.

I am extremely happy and delighted to see the involvement of a dedicated team doing good things to the unreachable poor people in this tribal belt. I am specially impressed by the way they run the school and the orphanage, and maintain about 80 poor children. The salient feature of teaching in Marathi Medium is really laudable. With the limited means these institutions are run with their hard work. The agricultural activities the people have undertaken are very much appreciated. The Morning Star Charitable Trust and its trees are really worth for praise. May God bless them with abundance to do the charitable activities. I earnestly appreciate Father and the Sisters involved in the trust Activities.
