Nursing students acted out God’s message through a play and homeopathic students presented a mime focusing on greed and anti-social activities of humans.

Kamath released the bulletin ‘Christmas-2009’. Fr Patrick Rodrigues, director of FMCI, delivered the Christmas message. 

Administrator of Fr Muller Medical College Fr Dennis D’Sa welcomed all. Heads of the institutions and departments and others were present on the occasion.
