Welcome to the official website of the Outreach Program of St. Aloysius Gonzaga Institute of Higher Studies! Everything you need to know about the program can be found in this website. Recent news, students’ reflections, and photos from the Outreach will also be featured here.
St. Aloysius Gonzaga Institute of Higher Studies (SAG-IHS) was established in 1998 by the Society of Jesus at the invitation of Archbishop of Taunggyi, Most Reverend Mathias U Shwe, D.D. The Institute is an apostolic work of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits). It is named for the patron saint of youth, St. Aloysius Gonzaga, who renounced his position within a powerful and wealthy family in Renaissance Italy in order to enter a life of service to others as a Jesuit at the age of 17.
The same spirit of service is inculcated in all the students of SAG-IHS through the Outreach Program. In fact, it is a curricular requirement. So, students while pursuing their academic work in the classroom are also required to go out of the four corners of their classrooms to reach out to the marginal youth of Myanmar.
Year by year, the Outreach Program has grown and reached out to more and more marginalized communities.
