63rd anniversary of St Benedict’s College

The founding day Mass for St Benedict’s College (SBC), La Romaine, was celebrated at the St Benedict’s RC Church on Wednesday, September 11 by parish priest Msgr Christian Pereira.

Msgr Pereira spoke about the importance of discipline, integrity and hard work. He touched on the transition from primary to secondary school and the contribution of the founder Dr Basil Matthews in establishing and nurturing SBC and the primary schools present.

Mention was also made about developing the holistic child. This hit home as SBC was carded to play its first premiership football match later in the day. Msgr Pereira took the opportunity to bless the entire football team and their uniforms at the end of Mass.

Dennis Latiff, General Manager of Tiger Tanks, SBC’s major sponsor, was also in attendance. The financial backing of the sponsor has made it possible to significantly improve the quality of training for the entire football programme. We give God thanks for our anniversary, the legacy of excellence and future endeavours. —Gregory Quan Kep
