MAPS
MATHEW ALAKALAM PUBLIC SCHOOL
Fr. Mathew Alakalam Public School and Kindergarten symbolize the MCBS’ vision and its mission to become God’s bread to the world at all levels and to realize the long cherished dream of many of its fathers to have an institution for providing holistic education in the name of its founders. Having considered the needs and aspirations of the people around Kodassery, the Provincial synaxis held in 2002 decided to start a CBSE School at Mechira, (Mettippadam). The year 2002 marked the 25th death anniversary of Fr. Mathew Alakalam. Thus, the MCBS Zion Provincial Council decided to begin the school at Mechira in his name.
MOTTO
In Lumine Tuo, Videbimus Lumen
(In your Light, we see Light. Ps 36:9)
Light invariably symbolizes knowledge, more specifically the divine knowledge. The epitome of Indian prayer was to lead one from darkness to light. In the Holy Bible too light is always the light that emanates from God. Jesus Christ proclaimed to be the Light of the world. The MAPS’ motto is taken from the book of Psalms. It talks about the converging point of human light and divine light. The divine light is the true light. We can claim to be in the light only when we are in the divine light.
A Mapsian is always expected to walk in the Divine Light. When being illumined with the Divine Light, one can never walk in darkness. In God’s light, we shall see light.
