St Anne’s Monastery, Kurianad is situated by the side of MC Road. The Mattam family donated 9 acres of land for the Monastery in 1908. In 1920 a residence was started at Kurianad and was raised to the status of a canonical house in 1922. The foundation stone for the Chapel was laid on January 16, 1917 and the first mass was offered in the chapel on April 1, 1919. The Monastery chapel was rebuilt in 1979. In 2006, the first floor of the monastery building was remodelled and furnished to begin a new aspirants’ house for the higher secondary education of the aspirants. Besides rendering catechetical and pastoral services to the people around, Monastery started St Anne’s Schools. The UP and HS was started on June 2, 1982 in the old Sunday School building and the new building was completed in 1985. St Anne’s English Medium LP School was started on July 28, 1994 as a feeding school of the high school which was upgraded to the higher secondary in 2000. The year 2015 passed yet another milestone in the history of St Anne’s campus when the Monastery invited St Vincent Monastery Pala for a joint educational venture. Thus, Chavara Hills CMI Public School was materialized in 2016. Nowadays, St Anne’s Monastery and Chapel attract an increasing number of faithful due to the saintly presence of Fr Bruno Kaniarakathu who was declared Servant of God on December 15, 2021.
