It was a great thing for our community as Fr Francis Serrao SJ made his official visit. It was a time of grace and great blessings. His stay in the community culminated in the community get together before the altar of the Lord. At the same time it was the birthday of our beadle Sch Ronald Xalxo. So the celebration was doubled beyond expectations.

17th September. Our Friend Sch Basil Sanga SJ celebrates his birthday. He is so happy to have his birthday celebrated and prayed for. The Eucharistic celebration was well organized. Sch Ronald gave a very beautiful introduction. Special prayers were offered.In the evening we had a shared prayer where everyone expressed their thoughts, feelings and sentiments toward Basil. At the end Basil made a prayer and expressed that his feelings are overwhelmed, and that he’s deeply humbled by the sharing.Then we had a community meal and the recreation. During the meal, Sch Ranjit raised the toast for Basil. At one part he wanted to say that Basil was good in jumping even from a running bus but said “So, you see Basil is good in running from a jumping bus!” This made everyone burst out in laughter.

NATIVITY OF OUR LADY
MONTHI FEST
8TH SEPTEMBER, 2009

*********************************************************************

It’s the birthday of our Mother Mary… It’s a much awaited day. Everyone was filled with joy as they celebrate the day. Early morning some are cutting sugar canes while some getting ready for the Liturgy… The Eucharistic celebration was very solemn with great love and devotion for our heavenly Mother. Fr Stanny our superior gave a beautiful homily on our Mother.

After breakfast you can see some of us gather near the coconut tree enjoying the sugarcane. Then comes another part which is also much enjoyable which is the Family or fellowship meal. Eating in leaves with variety of items- all pure Veg.

It’s rather unfortunate for the Mangalore Scholastics as this time they could not go to their homes owing to the on going Second Terminal examinations. Nevertheless everyone enjoyed the day and increased in Love and Devotion to Mother Mary.
