A new scholastic year is like the beginning of a whole new adventure. There could be no better way of making this adventure a successful one than to being it with God’s blessings. So, the students of Auxilium Convent School, Barasat chose the 11^th of April, 2018 to organize a prayer service in order to ask God to shower his bountiful blessings on us and help us making this year a successful one.

The prayer service began with the lighting of the lamp by Sr. Superior, Sr. Principal and Vice-principal and also with garlanding the statue of Mother Mary whose presence we could feel among us. We, then had readings from the holy Bible, the holy Gita and the holy Quran, followed by prayers and offerings. This was followed by a melodious prayer song and the prayer service was concluded with a beautiful prayer dance.

Finally, we were enlightened by the words of Superior Sr. Stella who explained us the thrust of the year which would give momentum to our actions throughout the year. We were told by her to try to make this world a happy place for others to live in and accompany the people around us in order to give them happiness.  Finally, Principal Sr. Clara S. told us to follow the thrust of the year and work together to make this year a successful one.
