St. Monica Study House – India


The inauguration of St. Monica Study House took place on 24th of June 2007. The purpose was to offer a residence to young student girls coming to Bangalore, whose parents wanted them to be in safe conditions. Offering this service we aim to help the girls in their integral process of growing in christian and moral values for their lives. The sisters accompany the hostel girls and provide them the possibilities in every walk of their life so that they may grow gradually the values of respect, faith, prayer, self-confidence, courage, discipline, responsibility, healthy relationship and the importance and values of their own life in the society.
