The committee expressed their condolences to the bereaved family. Aboline D’Cunha read out the message on behalf of the committee.

During the meeting Sydney Victor D’Souza and Geanette D’Souza were unanimously elected as Chairpersons for both Aloysian and Agnesians for the forthcoming event to be held in February 2009.
