GOOD SHEPHERD CONVENT - KOTAHENA

Good Shepherd Convent was established in 1869 in Colombo’s highest point, like a light set on a towering hill. It was the Benedictine Italian Archbishop of Colombo, Rt. Rev. Sillani, who initiated the first Catholic Convent, yet it drew upon the efforts of a French Saint Mother Euphrasia to plant the seed which has now become a mighty tree through whose portals thousands of girls have passed through.
