Mangaluru, Sep 7: In observance of The International Girl Child Day and to celebrate Nativity Feast, St Agnes CBSE School on September 7 organised a short prayer service at the school.

This was an initiative to throw light on the importance of the girl child and to go beyond oneself in charity. Dr Sr Maria Roopa, joint secretary and superior, was the special guest of the day.

The day began with a Nativity procession led by the school band to the rhythm of the Christian hymn ‘Let us Mingle together’ sung in unison in Konkani along with students of St Agnes CBSE and Kannada medium schools.

This was followed by a meaningful prayer service, invoking the blessings of mother Mary. Students offered flowers to the Lady as a mark of love and respect for all the graces they have received. Under the guidance of Sr Venitha and Sr Meera, Carmel Blossoms of grades 6 to 10, came up with a novel idea of collecting charity in kind, which was later distributed by them among the Kannada medium students.

This was a perfect way to usher in Nativity Feast through prayer and community service.
