Charles Christopher Raj Assistant Professor of History Department of Historical Studies Kasthurba College For Women Villianur, Puducherry, 605 110 INTRODUCTION Pondicherry which was a small fishing village unknown to the world was created as the window of the French Culture by the advent of the French1. Pondicherry, the very word seems to be the correction of Pudicherry2 which means a new hamlet. The Union Territory of Pondicherry constituted out of the four French establishments of Pondicherry, Karaikal, Mahe and Yanam has the epoch of history of three hundred and fifty years3. The French showed great interest in promoting the new faith i.e., Christianity apart from their economic trade and commercial motives. The Charter of 1664 had bestowed the Royal French Indian Company perpetual concession over Madagascar and the neighbouring islands an important condition that it should promote the Catholic faith in these areas. Thus the company started its evangelical mission and Pondicherry saw the beginning of the mission by two Capuchin priests, in 1674, who came to Pondicherry along with Francois Martin to spread the Gospel among the strange population4. DEDICATION BY THE CAPUCHINS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF MISSION The evangelical mission at Puducherry, saw its inception by St. Francis Xavier, which was made known by the two letters written by the saint himself in the year 1545. They reveal vicinity of the mission took in the place called Saveriacheri and they must have experienced the saints evangelical work and there are evidences that the saint made some conversion among the population and since there were no priests the new religion lost its rapport in development5.
