MSFS STUDY HOUSE: MAWROH, SHILLONG

Mawroh is a locality in Shillong and is located in East Khasi Hills District of Meghalaya. Though MSFS came to Northeast in 1975, because of the greater needs in the other dioceses of the region, no work was taken up in the diocese of Shillong. With the plan of starting a Study House for theology students, a plot of land was acquired at Mawroh, Shillong, when Fr Devasia Kuzhupil was the Regional Superior. By the end of 1992, the building meant for scholastics was constructed on this plot and was named ‘MSFS Study House’. The House is not very far from the two major seminaries in the Northeast India: Oriens Theological College and Sacred Heart Theological College. These institutes provide contextualised theological formation. Since 1992 until the completion of the study house the MSFS scholastics were staying at the Oriens Theological Seminary and were attending classes there.

‘MSFS Study House’ was inaugurated and blessed by Most Rev Hubert de Rosario, Archbishop of Shillong-Guwahati, on March 29, 1993. Fr Joseph Thazhathuknnel was the first Rector and Fr Mathew Puthumana Administrator respectively. So far, 138 scholastics in 23 batches (including 2017 batch) have passed out of the Study House. The Study House also admits students from other MSFS Provinces (South West, South East and Nagpur), who pursue their theological studies at Oriens College, Shillong.
