BIS # 1436 SAVEDI CELEBRATES THE FEAST OF ST. DOMINIC SAVIO

Flovi D’Souza sdb SAVEDI, JULY 7, 2009: July 6 was celebration time at Don Bosco, Savedi. The feast of St. Dominic Savio was celebrated with its usual pomp and gaiety. The day began with the high mass, where the children participated with verve, gusto and devoutness in their singing and Mass responses. The school assembly soon followed, where the students saluted the “little giant” with songs, skits and dance. The feast is synonymous with the installation of leaders and the inauguration of the house system. Here the ceremony was vibrantly and colorfully organized with the sashes and flags flying high and the oaths taken with all earnestness. The programme ended with the Rector, in his speech, exhorting the students to imitate the “Lahan pun Mahan” saint. The day belonged to the boarders. After the school ceremony, their revelry began with the inauguration of the boarding house system which was soon followed by the assorted “lightening tournaments”. Their excitement reached the peak when they were treated to a surprise movie and a sumptuous supper. It was truly a day where the children will look back with fondness and look forward to many such celebrations.
