St. Joseph Vaz himself was an educator par excellence who from 1655-1711 inspired many as an exemplary teacher. The apostolate of education that he undertook more than three hundred years ago is still relevant even today. His foresight of opening schools and using education for enlightening citizens as well as for proclamation of the Good News is praiseworthy. He believed that through education he could achieve the transformation and progress of individuals as well as of society.
