On Sunday, 17 August 2014 “Auxilium Parivar ”  celebrated the inauguration   the bicentenary of St. John Bosco’s  birth, the Death centenary of Sr. Angela Vallese and Boarders Parents Day.

Sr. Rosalia Tirkey, the Animator welcomed the assembly explaining the purpose of coming together and also highlighted the outstanding virtues of Sr. Angela Vallese. The solemn Eucharistic Celebration began with the entrance dance by the high school girls. The liturgy was animated by the boarders under the guidance of   Sr. Juliana Rozario, the assistant of the boarders. Rev. Fr.V. D. Mathew, the celebrant  in his homily said  “Sr. Angela Vallese was the missionary in South America. As she was in the mission so also our sisters present here are missionaries like her and we all of us could come together today because of our Father and founder Don Bosco who made his dream a reality. So it’s with great joy we move towards the bicentennial celebration of his birth with thanking and praising God for the gift of Don Bosco to our Salesian Family.”

After the lunch break the boarders entertained their parents with rhythmic steps and biblical skits. Parents were overjoyed with the performance of the children driving home the message to be like Abraham the father of Faith, Zaccheus of the new Testament and Sr. Angela Vallese to be ‘a good mother to all’.

The nostalgic sharing of  Ms. Sita Tudu, a Past Pupil of our boarding brought tears in the audience as she was all praise for the sisters so as to say “ You have touched me and I have grown”.
