A Grateful Heart is a Magnet for Miracles….
Every year the QACS staff and students, both English and Gujarati medium together, anxiously wait for the month of July, an opportunity to express gratitude for the selfless service of our Reverend Sisters, celebrated as the Management Day or the Feast Day. 15th of this month was a day when the meticulously planned programme was put to action to make the Sisters feel very special.
It all began at 8.30am, when our Sisters were first conferred with badges and then grandly welcomed by the QAC tiny tots holding messages of We Love You, We Respect You, We Admire You and so on. The Sisters were then offered lamps to hold and made to enter the arena, symbolising elimination of darkness and glorifying the occasion. This was a unique way to substitute lighting the lamp ceremony, just for a change.
After a brief welcome speech, a tableau depicting the epic of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (guiding Patroness of Our Carmelite Sisters) was performed, emphasising the significance of the brown scapular. A Welcome Song was presented, after which, the programme began, this time, with a difference. First a short prayer was read for each Sister and then the dance that followed was dedicated to the concerned Sister. This concept was truly liked by our Manager, Sr. Floripe, and expressed the same in her speech at the end of the programme. The day came to an end with A Happy Feast Day song sung by the teachers.
Eucharistic Celebration – the Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel was held the next day (16th July) at QACS Sports Complex. The Parishioners, Parents, Teachers and children joined in glorifying the Lord during this solemn commemoration and were a part of the extended community. The mass concluded in love and light fare.
