Geocache Description:

I placed this cache in the town that i was born, where i spent my childhood since i went to school at the St. JOSEPH'S college. As a teenager , i was in the choir and active in the church of  ST. THERESA and finally as a dad and family active in social works.

You can visit the college during school hours and enjoy the infrastructure of the church inside and i am sure you will be always blessed


ST JOSEPH'S COLLEGE, CUREPIPE, MAURITIUS Founded in 1877 by the brothers of the Christian Schools, St. Joseph’s College, located in Curepipe, is a publicly funded Roman Catholic all boys secondary school. The school forms part of the Elite colleges in Mauritius. The motto " Ad Altiora Cum Christo andthe badge were created in 1940 by Max Boulle, a former student. During World War II, the college was requisitioned as a war hospital, although there was no actual fighting in Mauritius. During that time St. Joseph's College students had to study at the Royal College of Curepipe along with their teachers. I did my secondary studies in this college from 1970 til 1980 and still being thankful to what i achieved in my life from all that i have learnt from this institution. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Joseph%27s_College,_Curepipe

ST THERESA CHURCH

Over the Royal Road, through the pulsating main street of the city of Curepipe, you get to the catholic church Ste  Thérèse. In the year 1872 the architect Mr. Rampan and Sir Virgile Naz built the place of worship on a simple square. Thus the might gothic building, with two spires at each side and with an arched windowin the middle, seems to be the central place of the nice city on the top of a hill. On the opposite of Ste Thérèse you will find the town hall, a building from colonial times which was build in the year 1890.As soon as you enter the church you will immediatly see the lovley coloured windows. On the contrary the interior furnishing, which is very simple and quiet: white buttress and dark brown church pew decorate the area of Ste  Thérèse.

PLEASE BE DISCREET WITH CACHE AND THE INSTALLATION. JUST TAKE SOME PICTURES WHILE ADMIRING THE BEAUTY OF THIS PLACE. THANK YOU.
