The institution's goal is to make science accessible to everyone, including students and the general public. One such effort is astronomy-related activities.

a) A subject that piques curiosity and inspires fantasy is astronomy. The frontier of scientific understanding of the cosmos is rapidly growing. To prevent ignorance and superstition, the different celestial occurrences that are intertwined with daily life need to have a scientific explanation.

Under the auspices of the St. Philomena Amateur Astronomical Club (SPAAC), the Institution is sponsoring events about astronomy.

Sky Watch Program: With innumerable stars in a distinct pattern, the cloudless, starry night sky is a sight to behold. SPAAC regularly organizes the Skywatch program using a 6" aperture reflecting astronomical telescope. It witnessed tremendous response from Students and the General public. Every skywatch session begins with an expert talk about astronomy and the cosmos. The tremendous turnout of students and members of the general public at these events is evidence of the emergence and sparking of interest in the field.

Observing the Celestial Events: The appearance of comets, sunspots, meteor showers, solar and lunar eclipses, planetary occultation, and many other astronomical events are interesting to watch and study. Activities with this aim have been carried out by SPAAC in collaboration with other amateur astronomy clubs in the area and the Pilikula Regional Science Center, Mangalore. For instance, an Annular Solar Eclipse took place on December 26, 2019. The telescope and the proper filters were put up to view the occurrence. Huge groups of children, students, teachers, and members of the general public flocked to watch the memorable celestial spectacle and learn scientific facts about natural processes.

Members of SPAAC are reaching out to the School and College to give expert lectures and engage in conversation with students to promote scientific principles and critical thinking. The College's emphasis on spreading science is also demonstrated by the regular astronomy-related workshops and seminars that are held there.

b) Science exhibitions with working and artifact models at schools and gram panchayaths from the Science departments with the involvement of teachers and students and full financial support from the Institution itself is another example of the Institution's commitment to educating future generations and the general public about science.
