With hearts full of gratitude and hope, we look upon the gift that God has given us through the Johannes Language and Cultural Institute in Chittissery, Kerala (Thrissur). Under the leadership and vision of the Missionaries of St. John the Baptist (MSJ), this institute is not just a place of learning, but a living sign of transformation, intercultural growth, and spiritual formation. Inspired by the Vision of the Founder: Pater Johannes Maria Haw The institute draws its inspiration from the life and mission of Pater Johannes Maria Haw, the founder of our MSJ congregation. He was a man of faith and a prophet of his time who saw the suffering of the poor and the needs of the Church with open eyes and a burning heart. His dream was to form missionaries who would serve with love, education, and evangelization—entirely in the spirit of Christ. That dream lives on today through the Johannes Language and Cultural Institute, where young people are not only educated but also formed to become witnesses of hope. A Center of Learning in Chittissery Located in the heart of the serene and spiritually rich village of Chittissery, Kerala, the institute is a place of transformation—academically, culturally, and personally. Talents are nurtured here, life paths are shaped, and the rural setting is being turned into a hub of intercultural learning. With modern classrooms equipped with digital tools, dedicated teachers, and a campus life infused with spiritual guidance, the Johannes Institute is a place where not just minds, but also hearts and souls grow. Education with Depth: Language as a Bridge to the World At our institute, the German language is not just a subject, but a gateway to a new world. Our structured program—from A1 to B2—follows international standards, with special emphasis on communication, cultural integration, and exam preparation. Learning with us means interaction, real-life relevance, and deep engagement with German everyday culture. Our students don’t just learn grammar—they also learn how to navigate life in Germany: how people think, live, eat, travel, and work. Faith, Character, and Community In the spirit of our congregation, we see education as a holistic formation: mind, soul, and body belong together. Daily Holy Mass, prayers, spiritual conversations, and social service are an integral part of our students' lives. Education without values is incomplete. That’s why we place great importance on humility, willingness to serve, and compassion—virtues that shape our youth into true missionaries of love and justice. A Future Full of Hope The Johannes Language and Cultural Institute is not just a springboard for professional opportunities abroad. It is a sacred place of preparation—for life, for vocation, and for mission. Under the leadership of the MSJ Congregation and inspired by the spirit of Pater Haw, we witness daily how young people flourish: from shy learners to confident global citizens, from questioners to the called, from hope to reality. With deep gratitude to our MSJ superiors, all supporters, and the many silent helpers working behind the scenes, we continue this mission. May the Johannes Language and Cultural Institute remain a beacon of light for the youth—a place where language becomes future, faith becomes strength, and education becomes vocation.
