Dear colleagues, students, parents and well-wishers of St. Berchmans,
Greetings to you all.
St Berchmans is celebrating its 86th birthday
on 19th June 2008. Throughout
these eighty six years of its tireless
pursuit of excellence, the College has never lost sight of its goals and has forged
ahead of other institutions in this part of the country. Today we have hundreds
of men and women around the world who proudly acknowledge their indebtedness to
their alma mater. To be identified as a Berchmanite is a matter of great honour
to them.
At this moment we look back with gratitude
and remembrance of the teachers and students of S B and all those men and women
who gave support of whatever kind to make SB great. We look forward to new goals,
and dream new dreams. Though much has been achieved, much remains to be won. Even
as we take stock of our past glories, we keep in mind the fact that SB has to grow
into an internationally recognized centre of academic, moral and cultural excellence.
The torch of leadership has now been passed on to a new generation.
This change of guard poses a challenge as well as a responsibility. We recognize
that S B stands on the rock basis of faith, community support and dedicated teamwork.
These are the things that we continue to bank on. The present incumbents see themselves
as stewards who are fully aware of
the legacy that has been passed on to them.
On this occasion we humbly pray for your continued support and involvement
in the well being and growth of S B.
We thank all those people
who are in one way or the other involved with S B. May the Good Lord bless us all
and strengthen us in our pursuits.
Dr.Stephen Mathews
