Why the Name Pastor Lenssen Polytechnic College?
When Rev.Msgr.Dr.V.X.Siluvai Ignaci, the Founder trustee, was secretary to Bishop of Tuticorin, had the contact with Rev.Fr.Ferdinand LENSSEN in view of Partnership between Aachen and Tuticorin Diocese. Fr. Lenssen was then parish priest of St.Elisabeth Church in Aachen city. In Aachen diocese the parish priest is called Pastor. Our Founder maintained personal contact with him till his death in 1996. Since our Founder shared his dreams of establishing a Polytechnic College, Pastor Lenssen was interested in this project. At his death bed he expressed his wish that the offerings that are made on his funeral should be handed over to Rev.Msgr.Dr.V.X.Siluvai Ignaci, to start his pet project of technical college. The Founder of this college thought: one who thinks of my project at his death bed, must be perpetuated. Hence the Founder named this Polytechnic College by the name of its first donor: Pastor Lenssen Polytechnic College (PLPC).
