History[edit | edit source]
St. Mary's Matriculation Higher Secondary School is a Catholic Institution meant primarily for Catholics but open to students of other faith, with special reference to the poor, established by the Congregation of the Sisters of ST. Joseph of Cluny, which had its headquarters at Trichy. It is owned by the Educational Institute of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Cluny, Cuddalore – a body registered under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 and having its Registered Office at Cuddalore.
Sister Anne Marie Javouhey (1770–1851), founded the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Cluny, in Cluny (France). In 1827, the first three Cluny sisters came to Pondicherry. They were followed, three years later, by Mother Rosalie Javouhey, Anne Marie's youngest sister. In accordance with the spirit of the founders, they launched out into social, medical and educational fields.
In the year 1907, St. Mary's Home (Convent) was established and later, to fulfill the needs of the destitute in and around Cuddalore, a home for the aged was established. Later St. Mary's school was established in the year 1914.
