The Management and the Staff of St Mary’s High School, Arsikere planned a farewell programme for Sr Deepti BS who served as Craft teacher for 27 years and Mrs Lilly Clara Almeida as Second Divison Assistant Clerk for 37 years on 03.10.2020. The day’s programme began with the Eucharistic Celebration thanking God for all the abundant blessings in abundance and marvels of God worked in their lives. The ambiance at St Mary’s was of both of sadness and joy: Sadness because of the departure of two of our colleagues from the institute, and joy because their service was counted and recognized as both reached out to thousands of pupils with generosity, compassion and commitment. Few students, ex-students, friends along with the Sr Louisia the Correspondent, the Headmistress, the staff and PTA members .
