celebrant and the rest of the fathers as co- celebrants. Rev.Fr.Daya who delivered the homily asked the students to
show how much they loved their shepherd expecting them to
show how much they loved by extending their hands; but to
his surprise the students spontaneously replied that they
could not do so in physical terms .This response expressed the deep attachment
and love they had for Rev.Fr.Shiran
The
variety entertainment programme was very colourful.
A student

school terchers, Mr. Lakshantha Ferdinando expressed words
of gratitude and love for their shepherd. In his farewell
