Bethany Champions is a movement of the Congregation of the Sisters of the Little Flower of Bethany under the auspices of The Bethany Educational Society ® Mangalore to bring the best out of our young people following the great dreams of our Founder the Servant of God Raymond Francis Camillus Mascarenhas. Its vision is to identify and form a group of Catholic students with required potential for leadership and motivate them to serve the society as leaders in civil and political arena with right values.
The catholic children and youth are given special training towards political and Christian leadership. It is to show them a new way to justice, peace and solidarity in a society where political, cultural, educational and economical intolerance is observed. In other words, it is to make them live like salt of the earth and the light of the world.
Empowerment of youth is one of the dreams of BES. In 2012 BES envisioned to train ‘1000 Bethany Champions’ in preparation for the centenary of the congregation in 2021. Today in all our institutions, special training is given to Bethany champions and it is extended to the children of primary school as Bethany blossoms and Bethany buds.
