I extend to you a warm welcome to St. Francis de Sales College (Autonomous), Bengaluru, popularly known as SFS College. Whether you are an existing member of our institution or joining us as a new faculty or staff member, I am delighted to welcome you to the Desalite family. SFS College was started in 2004 under the South-West India Province of the Missionaries of St. Francis de Sales. The institution was conceived with a bold and transformative vision. Over the years, we have grown and flourished, earning a distinguished reputation as one of the premier educational institutions in Bengaluru and throughout India.
Our journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence in education, fostering a vibrant learning environment, and nurturing the holistic development of our students. As we continue to build on this legacy, your contribution is invaluable. Together, we will strive for academic excellence, innovative research, and a community grounded in shared values and mutual respect.
We embrace the timeless wisdom of St. Francis de Sales, our patron, who said, “Be who you are and be that perfectly well”. Our foremost commitment is to equip our students with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in their respective areas of specialization. We also aim to instill in them faith in God and the values and principles guiding them to live as good human beings. Central to our mission is the transformation of hearts and lives, echoing the vision of Fr. Peter Marie Mermier, the founder of the Missionaries of St. Francis de Sales. His famous saying, “The education of the heart is the heart of education,” indicates that education encompasses not only the academics and awarding of degrees but also the integral formation and all-round transformation of the person. SFS College offers opportunities to our students for holistic formation and transformation.
SFS College, situated on a beautiful campus in the city of Bengaluru, fosters knowledge and personal growth. We provide various disciplines and academic programs, encouraging students to blend their academic pursuits with personal development and community involvement. Our philosophy balances discipline with the promotion of freedom and responsibility.
To our esteemed faculty and staff, I extend my heartfelt appreciation and invite you to join hands with us in our mission of education and transformation. I extend you a warm invitation to become part of our vibrant campus and Desalite family. May you seize the growth opportunities that our college offers, bringing about positive changes in your lives and those around you.
With Best Wishes and God’s blessings.
