From Vadodara province
OUR HOLY SHRINE – MOTHER EARTH We began the year 2015 with an awareness programme on 'Saving our Environment' and maintaining a balance in the eco-system. The Jesuits, Fr. Lucas S.J. and Fr. Rayappan in collaboration with the Jesus and Mary sisters initiated this programme at the behest of our Pope Francis message, 'On Care for our Common Home.' A seminar was organised for our students wherein they were made aware aout the plight of our environment and the care that should be taken to prevent further damage and destruction. The Holy Eucharist was celebrated in the laps of Mother Earth and as Fr. Rayappan expressed in the 'Holy Basilica' created and gifted to us by our Almighty Father, God himself. All our programmes conducted in our school centred around the theme of ecology. The major events, Sportsday and Annual Day depicted the ruin of nature and Mother Earth, its effects and impact on mankind and growing concerns about the dangers and harm to the ecology. S
