Chairman’s Message
We proudly bear the name of St. Gonsalo Garcia, the First Catholic Martyr and Saint of India and the Patron of our Diocese. Born in Vasai in 1556, St. Gonsalo's life was a testament to unwavering faith and service, culminating in his martyrdom in Nagasaki, Japan, in 1597. His legacy inspires us, especially the youth to pursue knowledge imbued with compassion and integrity.
At St. Gonsalo Garcia College, which was established in 1984, stands as a beacon of academic excellence and holistic development in the vibrant region of Vasai. We offer a diverse array of undergraduate and postgraduate programs in the discipline of Arts and Commerce. Our dedicated faculty and qualified staff are committed to fostering an environment that nurtures academic excellence with ethical values and social consciousness.
As we navigate an ever-evolving world, let us draw inspiration from the Patron Saint and work collectively towards a future rooted in knowledge, empathy, and resilience. I invite you to explore our website to learn more about our innovative and creative programs, initiatives, and vibrant community that makes St. Gonsalo Garcia College a distinguished institution.
May we continue to uphold the legacy of St. Gonsalo Garcia in all our endeavours and create a just and healthy society.
As the Bishop of the Diocese of Vasai and Chairman of St. Gonsalo Garcia College, I extend my heartfelt greetings to each of you.
With blessings and best wishes,
- Thomas D'Souza
Bishop, Diocese of Vasai
