The History...
The school derives its name from the name of Stephen, the first Christian martyr
of the first century missionaries after Jesus Christ. St. Stephen is regarded as
the “ FONDER SAINT” of the School and the “FOUNDER DAY” in the school is celebrated
on 15th February every year. This day is marked as St. Stephen’s Day in the Biblical
Calender. All our students are expected to be aware of who St. Stephen was.
The Holy Bible says that St. Stephen was a man, full of faith, wisdom and Holy Spirit.
God richly blessed him, and being full of power, he performed many great miracles
and wonders among the people of the carly Church. He spoke boldly against the Jewish
leaders and the establishment in his mission to spread the Jewish leaders and the
establishment in his mission to spread the message of God. He warned them about
their rejection of God’s messengers and for not obeying God’s Laws. As the members
of the Jewish /council listened to Stephen they were furious and gnashed their teeth
in anger. However, Stephen, being filled with grace and power, looked up to Heaven
and saw Jesus standing in glory at the right hand of God. Then, the members of the
council, with a loud cry, covered their eyes. Yelling at the top of their vices,
they all rushed at him, threw him out of the city and stones him to death. While
he was being stoned, Stephen prayed to Jesus, like his master Jesus, for the forgiveness
of the sin of the very people who killed him.
Stephen demonstrated all the qualities of spiritual leadership in his brief life.
He had Faith, /wisdom and Inspiration by the Holy Spirit, Vision, Courage, Love,
Forgiveness and Humility. The life of St. Stephen discerned a glorious example of
indomitable witness to Christ and of a radiant martyr.
...Let the exemplary life of St. Stephen inspire
and influence the pupils of this school in the formation of their characters, They
are called to face the challenges in their lives more courageously whatever the
price to pay.
Remember, our pupils are STEPHENITES.
