“Igniting the Light of Wisdom and Hope”

A solemn and meaningful Teachers’ Day Mass was celebrated on 4th September 2026 at 9:00 a.m. bringing together the school community in prayer, gratitude and thanksgiving. The celebration was presided over by Rev. Fr. John Berkman and was centred on the inspiring theme, “Igniting the Light of Wisdom and Hope.”

The occasion was made especially significant as it also commemorated the Feast of Blessed Dina Bélanger, whose life of deep faith, prayer, humility and selfless dedication continues to inspire us. Her unwavering love for Christ and spirit of service offer a beautiful example of how one can become a source of light and hope to others.

The theme beautifully reflected the noble vocation of teachers. Teachers are not merely imparters of knowledge; they are guides, mentors, and role models who illuminate young minds and hearts.

The celebration invited the teachers to reflect on the deeper meaning of their vocation. Like a lamp that dispels darkness, a teacher brings clarity where there is confusion and hope where there is uncertainty. The life of Blessed Dina Bélanger reminded everyone that true wisdom is enriched by faith, humility, love and a spirit of self-giving.

The Teachers’ Day Mass was therefore a beautiful celebration of faith, vocation, and gratitude. Inspired by the example of Blessed Dina Bélanger and guided by the theme “Igniting the Light of Wisdom and Hope,” the teachers were encouraged to continue being beacons of wisdom, compassion and hope for their students and for the wider community.
