Republic Day Celebration on 26 January 2012

Celebrating the remaking of India (Republic Day Celebration) - The Constitution of India is one of the greatest gifts bequeathed to us by the founding fathers of our country. It made us stand on the firm platform of equality, fraternity, liberty, freedom and justice – the values that make our country very unique in the world. In the present context of increased atrocities and injustice meted out to certain sections of the people, we see the relevance of the day in a new light. To mark the day when our Constitution redefined our nation 62 years ago, we at Mount St Joseph thanked the Lord at his banquet during the morning Holy Eucharist. Fr Arockiasamy M unfurled the National flag high on the front of Mount St Joseph. Many students of Loyola ITI and Boarding were a part of the flag hoisting ceremony. We were filled with admiration and gratitude for the gift of a free and just India.
