“The merit of our work is not measured by the greatness of the action but by the purity of our intention”.
Celebration of our Founder’s birth and death Anniversaries were special occasions to pay worthy tribute to the great person. Bethany Convent School Naini, Prayagraj organised befitting prayer services and other activities to make these days special. With prayer services, his bust was garlanded by the sisters and flower petals were offered by the staff members. Teacher spoke on his life and works on both occasions. The staff and students thanked God for the vision and mission of Fr R F C and his contribution to the uplift of humanity especially the poor and the marginalized. Songs dedicated to him were sung. A skit providing glimpses of his life was performed in the morning assembly in which the whole school participated.
BCS Naini organized a R F C Talent Hunt for children on 23 January 2023. With his blessings and love around 100 students took active part in different competitions like singing, dancing, fancy dress, symposium, fashion designing, flower arrangement, face painting, computer gaming etc. Students including the slow learners got a chance to display their confidence. It was indeed a great platform for our children to become aware of their multiple potentials and innate talents and to show case them in public. The works of the students were praiseworthy and some were just brilliant. This must have surely made the Servant of God Fr RFC Mascarenhas proud in heaven. As the seed of this institution which was sown then is now bearing fruit of his passion and determination.
