"And call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you" Psalm 50:15
HOME
St. Vincent's Technical School and Home, Maggona, Sri Lanka, is an Institute for under privileged children, founded in 1881 by the Oblate missionary Priests as the first Social Service Institute to be established in Sri Lanka. Technical School and its residence is run as one of the missions of St Vincent's Home which is managed by resident Priests & Brothers of the Congregation of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate (OMI).
The Institute provides a loving home, spiritual care, health care, education, and full support for wellbeing . Some of the children are orphans, while some are abandoned by their families due to financial or personal reasons, children living in difficult circumstances in their homes, some traumatized and unmanageable at home due to temperament reasons. The children are sent here by the Department of Probation and the Juvenile Courts of Sri Lanka. We have a Technical/Vocational Training School and courses are conducted in Carpentry, Welding & Lathe Mechanic, Automobile Mechanism, Building & Industrial Electrician and Air Condition & Refrigeration.
The aim of St. Vincent's Home is to protect, educate and train the children and adolescents in Life-Affirming Activities & that they will be able to help our country and help our communities to flourish and be responsible citizens of Sri Lanka.
