The dawn of 25th February  brought along  feelings of great joy, happiness and expectations as the community had been eagerly waiting for the visit of our dear Provincial Sr. Rose Ezarath.  At her arrival at 3.00 pm, accompanied by the animator of Palam Gaon Sr.Gracy Parekattil, the community of Auxilium, Najafgarh gave formal and traditional welcome with great joy .Words of Welcome, Melodious  welcome song in different voices and gestures of love was expressed in giving the bouquet and garlanding her while the Lord of Lords and the master of the house awaited her and the family members in the chapel.  We were also very happy, on the next day being a Sunday, she participated in the children’s Mass  in the parish   Strenna of this year  goes with the saying ‘We are a family’….. Well our school is a home where  there is the joyful expressions, fun, laughter and cheer.

On 27th February happened to be an extra-ordinary one  for the children of our school as they waited and longed to see and welcome their M O T H E R . So the event witnessed the Welcome song, offering of bouquet by each one . This was followed by an interactive conversation with mother which they enjoyed.  Sing songs in Praising  God and the pathways for a righteous way of life was presented by an action song.  ‘Mother now we are going to perform a Mass Drill for you’ one of them chirped  like a tiny bird.  The colourful performance made the countable audience wonder about the performers and their developing skills. The climax of the day’s celebration was the March past, followed by pledge taking as Loyal Indians even at the age of 3+ and 4+ and feeling proud to be Indians and to be really at the heart of India in the capital,  sowing the seeds of patriotism and concluding the programme by singing the National Anthem. We can be sure that their hearts were filled with happiness with the experience of the day with Sr. Provincial a mother figure for them.
