It
is situated 1 Km away from Nehru Maidan Bus stand. The walls
of the church are covered with the paintings of the artist Antony
Moshaini of Italy. The Church was built in the year 1899-1900.
St.Aloysius College Chapel, an architectural gem, comparable
with the Sistine chapel in Rome, is situated on lighthouse hill.
The special beauty of the chapel is the wonderful series of
paintings that virtually cover every inch of the interior roof
and walls executed by Bro. Moscheni trained in Italy
The
central row of paintings on the ceiling depicts the life of
Aloysius Gonzaga to whom this College and Chapel is dedicated.
This young man who gave his life in the service of others is
given as a model to the 5,000 young people studying on this
campus.
Aloysius had everything that a young man of his age desires.
He had wealth, power and influence. But he gave them up in order
to serve others, especially the most needy. Our students are
asked to imbibe his spirit of service.
