Blessing & Inauguration of the new BasketBall Court

Last week, the new basket ball court was blessed and inaugurated. Our new Basketball court received its inaugural blessings from the hands of our Rector, Fr. William Sequeira, on 7^th August. There was a short prayer service conducted by the novices in which all the people (Architect, Contractor, Labourers, Painters etc) responsible for the completion of the work were remembered with gratitude. Thanks to the painstaking efforts of Schs. John Paul & Jossie Rodrigues who took up the supervision of the work under the guidance of Fr Dion Vaz. The novices organized a basketball match on this special occasion. A spectacular, thrilling, exciting and nail biting match was held between the novices and the senior community. Certainly, the novices were amazed to see the playing skills of the senior Fathers and Scholastics. Both the teams competed very well to give a splendid performance. The novices were on their toes cheering both the teams. The match ended with an exciting tie with 24 points each. The hero of the day was none other than Fr Jossie D’Mello as he received the man of the match award for his terrific and fabulous performance. It was a grand gala match at Mount St Joseph - the inaugural match in the new basketball court. The novices are not only elated but also delighted to have a new basketball court. Their dream to have a new basketball court has become a reality now! They are already working on their skills and strategies to become better players. All the best in your endeavour dear novices.
