THE RECTOR'S BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS

Yesterday the 8th November the School celebrated the Birthday of the Rector, Fr. Godfrey D'Souza. At the inauguration of the first day of the Sports Festival Fr. Crispino announced to the school that it was the birthday of the Rector and thanked God for the person he is.

In the evening the boarders had organized the Eucharistic celebration with good singing and animation. All the community members were present. Fr. Barnabe said more than a few words about the Rector at the mass appreciating some of the qualities of the Rector.

After the Eucharist there was a program in the school assembly hall by the boarders and the evening study children. The whole program was very well arranged and seen to by Fr. Crispino, Bro. Michael, Sir Haydn and the boys. The singing and dances were excellent and the skit was truly entertaining with a beautiful message to take home. Fr. Edwin the Administrator said a few words in English and in Hindi for the benefit of the Evening Study Children.

The EVS put up a beautiful dance and Puja read out an address expressing their sentiments of gratitude that the children and the staff have for all that is organized for them.

The dinner for the boarders was something to be remembered. They had a buffet dinner and it was a joy to see them do justice to the spread.

The Salesians and the family and close friends and benefactors were also present. It was here that Fr. Crispino said more than a few words once again appreciating Fr. Godfrey as the Rector of Dominic Savio's.

Fr. Godfrey thanked one and all for the many lovely words expressed from morning, and for all the arrangements made to make his 60th Birthday a very memorable one indeed.

Thanks and God bless to one and all and especially to all the members of the community and Sir Haydn.
