The registration of the land was done on 2nd of July 1993. Fr John Kulathinkal was appointed in charge of the station and he began to stay in a rented house and started his work. First of March 1994 onwards he began to stay in the newly constructed Priest house. The blessing of the Little Flower Ashram took place on 8th of November 1994. The School was informally inaugurated on 18th July 1994. As the School was under construction he decided to run the School in the convent building.
