The Society of the Congregation of Franciscan Brothers was established on February 22nd, 1901 at Nagpur by its Founder, Bro. Paulus Moritz and his Companions. The Congregation aims at an integral and personalized formation of the young in the context of its plurality and diversity of Indian/World culture. It strive to render service to all strata of humanity to attain integral development and to live a free, dignified and truthful life.
