St. Francis Xavier's High School (SFX) is a school in Siolim, Bardez, Goa. ==History== St. Francis Xavier's High School was founded on 21 May 1937 by Mr Miguel Antonio de Souza in Corlim, Mapusa. The Siolim Fransalian Education Society of the Missionaries of St. Francis de Sales (MSFS) manage the school. In May 1950, Mr Miguel Antonio de Souza brought his school from Mapusa to Bamonvaddo, Siolim and set it up in a large private house. The house stood in the present premises of the school until 1986. Mr Souza was the Principal and also taught English and Mathematics. His wife, Mrs Lourdes Sanches de Souza, was the Portuguese language teacher, in charge of preparing the students for the 3rd grade examination of Portuguese, the official language of Goa at that time. As Mr Souza's health became worse, it was his wish that someday after his demise the SFX School should be donated to the Archdiocese of Goa. After his demise, his son Francisco Sanches de Souza was appointed temporarily as the Principal and in December 1953, SFX School was handed over to the Archdiocese of Goa by the founder's wife. The Patriarch of the East Indies, Don. Jose Alvernaz, appointed Rev. Fr. Catarino Roberto Fernandes, of Bamonvaddo, Siolim, as the principal, and on 1 June 1965, the Bishop Raul Gonsalves, the Patriarch of the East Indies, asked Fr. Roberto through the Diocesan Director of schools, Mgr. Filipe Neri Mendonca, to hand over the SFX to the Missionaries of St. Francis de Sales (MSFS) or “Fransalians”, and Fr. Anthony S. Fernandes was appointed as the principal. The Higher Secondary School for Arts and Commerce was started on 19 June 1988 and Science was added on 1 June 1989. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SFX High School, Goa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
