Mermier Bhavan

Pioneering mission of MSFS in Karnataka is the Mermier Farm in Hebbagodi. Fr. Devasia Kuzhuppil bought it with the intention of establishing a mission station in the year 1968. Later on a small school was established and a year later the prestigious Suvidya College (1984). Slowly the mission took root and today the campus houses 3 schools, One PU College, 1 Degree College, 2 Parishes in two distinct rites, College of Philosophy, 1 Music academy, hostel for college students and a boarding home for poor children.
