Mangaluru, Apr. 25 : “A farewell does not have to be a goodbye, but could also mean that we will miss you until we meet again”.

It was indeed an emotional day for the entire Lourdite family as we bid farewell to the four beautiful stars Mr Ivan Mascarenhas, Mrs Metilda Pinto, Mrs Theresa A’lmeida and Mr Maxim D’Souza on 22nd April 2022.

The programme began invoking God’s blessings led by Mr Roshan Cordeiro and team. Ms Leena Sequeira welcomed the dignitaries and the entire gathering.

“Appreciation can make a day and even change life”.

Later the outgoing staff were felicitated by Manager Rev. Dr John Baptist Saldanha, Principal Rev. Fr Robert D’souza and Vice Principal Ma’am Belita Mascarenhas.

In his speech Principal Rev. Fr Robert D’souza said it is a great blessing to be in an educational institution.
