VIDYA VIKASINI SCHOOL (C.I.S.C.E)

Our founder; Bro. Paulus moritz (1869- 1942)

Rev. Bro. Paulus Heyman Hermann Moritz was born on 29th June 1869 in Koenigsberg, Germany of Jewish parents. He received his Jewish and Primary education in Koenigsberg itself, later he was well educated in Cologne and Bonn. His deep love for Jesus was sparked by his conversion to Catholicism after the example of St. Paul who influenced his life to a great extent.

Bro. Paulus arrived in India in November of 1900. He led his subjects to perfection more by his example than by preaching. “Pray and work, work and pray” was his slogan. He never relaxed from his duties, both spiritual and Congregational even when incessant labour, old age and long illness deteriorated his health. He breathed his last peacefully on November 19, 1942. His mortal remains rest at the Mother House Cemetery, Mount Poinsur, Borivali in Mumbai, India.
