Mangaluru, Jun 20: The department of MBA AIMIT Centre, St Aloysius (Deemed to be University) held a heartfelt Prayer Service for the outgoing MBA batch of 2023–2025 on June 19 in the Arthur Shenoi Auditorium. The event was marked by gratitude, blessings, and reflection, offering students a meaningful farewell as they prepared to embark on the next stage of their lives.

The service began with a prayer led by Dr Fr Manoj SJ, who invited everyone to reflect on the journey they had taken and the many blessings the have received along the way. His words centred on the importance of gratitude and he encouraged the students to move forward with thankful hearts.

Following the prayer, Dr Fr Kiran Coth SJ, director AIMIT, addressed the gathering with a message of encouragement and hope. He reminded the students that they were now Aloysian for life, and with that identity comes a responsibility to live out the core values of Jesuit education. He emphasised the four Cs that are central to the ethos of St Aloysius College - competence, conscience, compassion, and commitment. Dr Fr Kiran Coth SJ urged the students to carry these values into their careers and communities.

A symbolic candle procession followed the message, where each student lit a candle, signifying the light they carry within and the knowledge they will take forward. Dr Fr Kiran Coth SJ and Dr Fr Manoj SJ blessed the students during the procession.

To honour their time at AIMIT, mementos were presented to the graduating students by the dignitaries. The programme was compered by Gowthami, who ensured that the flow of the event remained smooth and reflective.
