St Christopher Association celebrates Christmas with Students of Kudupu Government School
Mangaluru: St Christopher Association Organized Christmas Programme at the higher Primary School, Kudupu here on December 20.
The programme began with an invocation. School Headmistress Flavia Tauro welcomed the gathering. The local ward corporator Bhaskar K was the chief guest for the programme.
Bhaskar cut the Christmas cake and inaugurated the programme. Speaking on the occasion, Bhaskar said, “I am really happy and appreciate such meaningful programme being held in this school. Christmas is being celebrated throughout the world with sharing and caring.
Presiding over the Programme honorary President of the association, Sushil Noronha said, “Spirituality of the Feast should be celebrated faithfully in spiritual centers. Celebrations should not be celebrated within the community but should be celebrated with the needy. Even in our localities, all religious festivals should be celebrated together. Christmas should be celebrated with the poor and the needy with the aim of wiping out their tears. If we will be able to wipe out the tears of the less fortunate, Christmas celebrations will be meaningful.”
Anitha Teacher delivered the vote of thanks and teacher Gretta Lobo compered the programme. The association members handed over steel vessels and plastic buckets to the school on the occasion. Kushwar was distributed to all the students.
Stephy Pereira conducted games for the children. Association President Francis D’Souza, Secretary Nigel Pereira and Joint Secretary Leena D’Souza were also present on the dais. There was a cultural programme by the school children.
