He sowed the seed to empower them- the poor and the female,
With a determined mind and hard work did he toil,
And help spread the branches of Transformative Education all around the world.
Value Based Education - was, is and will always be the need of the hour,
Given to all in abundance by the sisters of the Little Flower of Bethany,
Who help spread the fragrance of the flowering ‘Fulness of Life’ tree far and wide.
16.7.1921 till date, never have they failed to promote the glory of God everywhere,
Guided by the 7 precious Core Values they have walked
All these 102 blessed years, in the footsteps of their planter Msgr RFC Mascarenhas.
On this 103rd Foundation Day we pray upon you dear sisters,
God’s abundant blessings upon each one of you,
May Bethany grow, prosper and succeed in touching many more lives remain our sincere prayer.
