Album Title: MOTHER JI BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION 2024
Description: Rev. Mother Benigna nee, Rosa Louigia Gastaldon, founded St. Anthony's Girls School and Orphanage in 1934. She was born on 26th Oct. 1897 in Italy. n February, 1934 Mother Benigna accompanied by Sr. Anthonia, a young Italian nun, reached Paharganj to start a school for the girls of the locality. It was a time when education of girls was looked upon as a waste of time. Every day the two sisters would visit the squalid quarters in Paharganj and the surrounding areas, motivating parents to send their daughters to school.
the greatest award she received was the hundreds of girls whom she gave new life by nurturing and settling them in life. They are spread all over the world today ever watchful and caring for their dear home- St.Anthony's
