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. The best way to empower the youth he understood was to give them good Catholic Education with spiritual and moral foundation. He went in search of the youth who were talented but due to poverty could not pursue their studies and make it possible to them to make a mark in their life.

In the footsteps of our Founder and heeding to the signs of the times Bethany has ventured into a project of focussing on youth leadership since the XV General Chapter in bringing them from all the Provinces of the Congregation under one banner ‘Bethany Champions’. Its vision is to form a group of Catholic students of high intelligence and good calibre and to motivate them to aspire towards leadership in civil and political arena. 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 salt of the earth and the light of the world.
