In 1875 St. Patrick's Anglo Indian Higher Secondary School was established in Chennai to provide education to the sons of British settlers in Madras (now referred to as Chennai). In 1875 Dr. Fennelly, Archbishop of Madras, invited the Brothers of St. Patrick's to his diocese for taking over control and management of a home for the poor boys which had been founded by Archbishop Carew in 1850. Responding to this invitation, Bro. Ignatius Price, Bro. Paul Hughes and Bro. Fintan Parkinson set out from Mountrath (Ireland). They were the pioneers of the "Patrician Brothers" mission in India. The school and home were in the heart of the city at that time, Armenian Street. In fact, the Brothers also taught and managed the present St. Mary's School for 10 years.
