Selected for National Level Kho Kho...

The beauty of a game is not in training nor in winning but in trying… trying with a will to win and a heart to accept when we don’t: trying with a passion to excel with a spirit to appreciate when others do, trying with a sense of commitment and with sportiveness to bow to the judgment.

This is the beauty that the sports person Balaji has imbibed at Loyola Higher Primary School, Kalenagrahara.

We are proud of this child prodigy for his wonderful achievements for the first time in the history of our school in the field of sports. He stands for his irrevocable virtues of self discipline, simplicity, and hardwork at studies too.

I extend my hearty congratulations on behalf of Management, The correspondent, Teachers, Mr.Harish & Mr.Chandru ( old students of ours ) and the students well

-Sr. Rosaline

Jubilee Bells Ringing

The curtains came down on the Silver Jubilee Year of Loyola High School on 11 November, as the day witnessed a grand celebration to mark the event. Archbishop emeritus Ignatius Pinto was the chief guest who gave a thundering speech to enthuse the students and the staff. Mr. Sangliyana was the guest of honour, who spoke fluently in Kannada and won the hearts of the audience. Fr. Vijay, the Provincial, highlighted in his speech, the commitment of the Jesuits to the poor students of the locality. All the past Managers and the HMs of the school were remembered with gratitude and those present were honoured. The cultural programme that followed was much appreciated by all. Br. Marcel slogged hard for this. No doubt, the painstaking efforts of Fr. John and Sr. Tresa made a deep impression on everybody.

Hushh... Silence Please......

Dhyanashrama is the most sought after Retreat House in the city. The month of November is a witness to it, as one can find no corner left free in the house. At present three Long Retreats are taking place in Dhyanashrama and Prerana, this apart from the Novices' Long Retreat. All these retreats are guided by the well known retreat masters of the place- Frs. John Mendonca, Furtado and Robert. Freddie is also directing a huge group for 8 days. The whole place is filled with silence. Fr. Willie sees that no one at any time is denied of spiritual need. Thanks to his keen interest, MSJ has become 'the house' for retreats!

Face to face with the leopard!

It was past midnight. Fr. John Mendonca was returning from Mangalore. After getting down from the auto, he took quiet steps to MSJ from the main gate. Barely a few steps had he taken, he was stunned with horror to see a strange animal making its way towards him. It took no time for Fr. John to guess that it was the same leopard that the forest officials had made desperate futile effort to trap sometime ago. Only heavenly intervention could help John as there was no one around to look for help. Only thing he could do was to stand still and stare with courage at the leopard. Even the leopard stood still for moment and stared at Fr. John. Thank God, it was not saying the grace before the meals... soon it left him and went its way. Fr. John narrated the traumatic episode to the community members on the following day though many found difficult to believe whether it was real leopard. In fact, sometime ago, Fr. John had made lots of inquiries about leopards. He even downloaded few pictures of leopards from the internet and displayed on the community notice board. However, this time leopard himself gave him unforgettable darshan!
