OUR PATRONESS : ST. PHILOMENA
Philomena – which means “daughter of light” – was a Greek princess who lived on the Island of Corfu during the fourth century. Philomena is the patron saint of the youth. She is often depicted in her youth with two anchors; three arrows, a palm symbol of martyrdom, and a flower.
Through her intercession we pray that the young women entrusted to our care will take St. Philomena as a role model and exemplar in living.

Message from the PRINCIPAL
Greetings from St.Philomena First Grade College For Women Hassan
St. Philomena First Grade College welcomes you warmly and wishes that you grow into a well balanced personality. During these three years, your aim should be to form yourself integrally i.e., spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, socially and physically. so do not be satisfied with only classroom instruction and passing of examinations but be keen on acquiring knowledge. Make good use of the library and get involved in all the co-curricular activities, where you can develop your God-given talents. " A person who is young years may be old in hours if has lost no time," says Francis Bacon.

An aimless person is like a boat without a rudder. Your education must prepare you to face life boldly and with self confidence and to play your feminine role in family and society. it should build up your character based on values of honesty, justice, love and concern for others.

Accepting God as the source of all good, you will foster a filial relationship with your heavenly father and develop universal love towards all his children. Self discipline and hard work is necessary as study and work. Remember that "A wasted youth is a wasted life". your life is before you- to make it or mar it.

St. Philomena
PATRONESS OF OUR COLLEGE
