    My good wishes are with all the schools and colleges run by The A.C. nuns. My three sisters studied at St. Agnes.... one of my sisters served as the Principle of the college and even now I am in close touch with St. Agnes and particularly their principal Sr. Jaswena.

    I am glad that Dr. Austin Prabhu who I know very well was The Chief Guest. Several years ago it was my pleasure also to be The Guest of Honour at this institution

    My good wishes are and will always be with The Apostolic Carmel sisters..
