Our School is named after Saint Aloysius Gonzaga. Aloysius was a descendant of a princely family in Italy in the 16th century. He had everything he could have desired in life. But, inspired by a deep spirit of faith and love for fellow persons, he abdicated his rights at the age of 18 and entered the Jesuit Order to be a religious, whose wealth would be God alone and whose happiness would be the service of others.
While Aloysius was still under training, there was a plague in Rome. Victims of the deadly plague were being abandoned everywhere for fear of contagion. Youthful Aloysius who was then 24, immediately set about, with his companions, caring for the abandoned, sick and the dying, risking his own health. The risk, however, was too great; and Aloysius fell victim to the plague and died at the age of 25 in the midst of his noble work, offering his life as a sacrifice for others.
His example of pure and noble life, moved with a genuine concern for the welfare of others, not seeking the glories of this world, is proposed to you as a model in this institution.
