Fr. Agnel School, is an Educational institution run by the Catholic Minority Community, with all the rights and privileges granted by the constitution of India and recognised but unaided by the Department of Education.
Fr. Agnel School, was established in the year 2004 by the Society of Pilar (Pilar Missionary Fathers) through a registered Body "Vidyasagar Mandal, to provide excellent holistic education to all children of all sections of society. "Pilar Missionary Fathers manage and administer institutions in different parts of our country, namely Goa, Nagar- Haveli, Daman, Gujarat, Ambamath Mumbai, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Andamans, Kolkata, North- East, Bihar, Bhopal.
The educational philosophy of the Society of Pilar, which runs schools all over India specially for the poor sections of society, challenges the children towards intellectual excellence: lean, to love to leam and to learn with dignity.
The school is primarily meant to provide education that is based on sound human values. It is meant to prepare them for life, with full respect to the freedom of conscience. Besides Providing education that is academicin nature, the school also intends to prepare its pupils in the cultural, social and physical aspects of life. Thus enabling them to face life with greater confidence.

Fr. Agnelo was born on the 21st January 1869, in Arjuna, one of the most beautiful and picturesque village of Goa.
Fr. Agnelo joined the Society of Pilar as a candidate on 17th July 1897, and ordained deacon on 18th December, 1897 and was conferred ordination on 24th September 1899.
Fr. Agnelo was a man of strong faith and a zealous Priest and worked in several places in the Portuguese jurisdiction. When the society was on the verge of extinction, he had the courage and faith to make that prophetic statement, “the society will not die, the finger of God is here.” Since then the Pilar has grown from strength to strength.
Our model is our saintly member Fr. Agnelo (Agnel Baba). People consider him to be a saint precisely because he was deep thinker and people used to come to listen to his sermons; he was an honest person, a person who gathered all people around him without looking at caste or wealth, and he helped all people around him. He never had a bad word for anyone. We have chosen him as the model for our schools because this is what we want our children to be.
We would like Fr. Agnelo School to promote intellectual excellence, emotional maturity and openness, social awareness and commitment so that we make our children proud citizens of India and the Kingdom of God be made present among us here and now, wherever they are.
Fr. Agnelo is indeed a saint. Immediately after his death devotion abounded and spread far and wide. Today hundreds of thousands of people all over the world are blessed through his intercession. He was declared “Venerable” by Pope Paul II, and we await and pray eagerly that he may be declared “Blessed” soon.
