Mangaluru: Lourdes Central School lays foundation of new block


Media Release

Mangaluru, Feb 22: 'Education is the key to success in life'. The foundation for future prosperity is built on a bedrock of good jobs and great schools. Lourdes Central School ((LCS) is building a strong foundation for the future generation. The aim of Lourdes Central School is to cement the hearts of the children with uncompromising convictions. This is rightly done under the confidence and unflinching conviction of the dynamic personalities the parish priest, Fr Dr John Baptist Saldanha, the manager of Lourdes Central School and the ever most supportive, ambitious, and encouraging principal, Fr Robert D'Souza.

The tiny seed of LCS sown by Late Fr Bernard D'Souza in the Bejai parish is well-known not only in Mangaluru but is well known in India and the globe. Yet another remarkable day in the history of Lourdes Central School was marked on February 21.



A foundation stone that was blessed with a Eucharist celebration on February 11 was laid for another school block.

The momentous occasion was witnessed and graced by Fr Joy Misquith, Fr Pramod Crasta the assistant parish priest of Bejai parish, the finance committee members, the school management committee members, the parish council members, the staff and students of Lourdes Central School and the Bejai parishioners.

It was a bright ray of sunshine amidst the gloom of the pandemic and there was a great joy in the hearts of all the people gathered there. The programme began by invoking God’s blessings through a prayer song. The stone was blessed by the chief guest, Fr Maxim Rosario. In his address, Fr Maxim stressed that schools should not only educate the child in academics or extracurricular activities but should create individuals who are concerned for each other.

Fr Dr John Baptist Saldanha in his message said that the school should provide a holistic development for the children and welcomed the gathering.

In gratitude, the principal thanked all the parishioners, neighbours of the school and the well-wishers who were gathered. He requested all the people to pray for smooth functioning of the construction of the new block of Lourdes Central School.
