Founder's Day Celebrations, August 14th

COMMUNITIES IN KERALA





Report on Founder’s Day Celebration in Kerala
-Showe Reddy, scj

This is a description of founder’s day celebration at Dehon Vidya Sadan on the 14th of August.

The celebration of the day started by a welcome to everybody by Fr. Thomas Stanley, rector of the house. He started with, “we gather here to celebrate the birth and death of our beloved Fr. Dehon. We come not for competition but for sharing.” At 10 o clock we all took part in group photo, which is the tradition for this day. Then Tiffin was followed.

At `11 o clock we assembled at the study hall for the quiz competition. This year the material was from the ‘Mustard seed’ article and a ‘History of Indian District.’

We were in time for Eucharistic Adoration, where Fr. Martin shared some of his reflections. After Adoration there was a blessing and presentation of crosses to the new candidates by Frs. Martin and William. I saw a great joy in the eyes of the candidates. There was also blessing of new chapel in the first floor. Then it was time for most important celebration. We all were in dining hall to share delicious dinner.

At 2 o’clock we were yet again in the study hall, this time for our cultural gathering. Each house’s presentation was about 20 minutes. Then at 3:30pm it was time for games. We had table tennis, caroms, volley ball, and badminton. All brothers played with great enthusiasm to win. As we know the best ones win. Here too, almost all the prizes went to Dehon Vidya Sadhan. Nevertheless the joy of all the brothers was the same. That was the spirit we all were filled with. There was one hour for the next program, so all three houses participated together in a foot ball match. At 6 o’clock in the evening we all gathered for the last time for distribution of prizes and Tiffin.

Around 6:45pm all brothers bid farewell to each other.

This was great occasion to get together and share joyful and fraternal love with one another.
