EMPOWERED TO SERVE
Holy Cross College, Nagercoil established in 1965, is the first women's College in Kanyakumari District, a fulfillment of a long-felt need of the district. The college under the religious jurisdiction of the Catholic Bishop of Kottar was inaugurated on 2nd August 1965 and is administered by the Congregation of the Sisters of the Cross of Chavanod which has its head quarters in Geneva, Switzerland. Rt.Rev. Dr. Agniswamy, the then Bishop of Kottar was the motivator and mastermind behind this institution. Rt. Rev. Dr. Antony Muthu, who was the parish priest of Kurusady and the then Bishop of Vellore, co-operated with this idea of establishing an institution for higher education for women. It is his invitation to Rev. Mother Marie Cecile, the then Provincial Superior of the congregation of the Sisters of the Cross, that sowed the seed of this edifice of learning. Her response to the invitation was positive and from then on she left no stone unturned to realize the dream of a women’s college in this remote area of the southernmost district of the country.
Holy Cross College aims at forming well-integrated persons, who will strive to transform society, by meeting the challenges of life and taking a stand in the struggles of the poor and the marginalized.
