Loyola Happenings

Sharing of Inner Movements

“Trusting in God would not make the mountain smaller, but will certainly make climbing easier. Don’t ask Him for a lighter load but ask Him for a stronger back” is the phrase which goes very well with our students. In order to lighten their inner burden that is often unexpressed and at times derails their way of going about, to set all these things right on track we have started a counseling centre under the able guidance of Fr Francis Noronha. It has been of great help to all students and they have gained a lot. Moreover they come out with smiles on their faces.

On Cloud Nine

To believe in something in which everyone believes is Belief, but to believe in something in which everyone does not believe is Confidence. Here is something for you to believe... It is the confidence of the primary students that has fetched them the Championship at the Inter-School Cluster Level sports held from 27 to 29 July. No doubt that every child who took part ran in the right track, remained honest and finally came out with flying colours. God has blessed the hard work of our children. Some of them are now preparing for the next step. We wish our lovely kids all the best …

A Red-letter Day

Truly 1 August was a Red-letter day for the Loyola Institutions. We celebrated the feast of St Ignatius. Prior to this we had many competitions where good many of our students actively took part. We began the day with a Quiz followed by a formal and a cultural programme. Fr Rector delivered the key note address while Mrs S G Prema gave the musings. As Jesuits, we are called to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim freedom to the captives and release from darkness to prisoners. This was a golden chance for us to renew this mission of ours among the poor being one with them. Right now all children are found at their desks burning the midnight oil as they prepare for their next mission: the Exams.
