Father Gervasis, then, after a Scripture reading, led the Assembly in prayer. Archbishop Dominic Jala, the Chief Guest and three members of the Governing Board lighted the lamp. The students of the college then sang the college anthem. Father V.T Jose welcomed the grand assembly.
Father George Maliekal (INS) invited all the students to enrol themselves in the school of Mary as they get ready to enrol themselves in SHTC for this semester. Father V.M Thomas (ING) reminded everyone that ''we stand on the shoulders of giants'' when he recalled the great achievements of Father Sngi and Father KD Sebastian. He also quoted Pope Francis saying that ''Jesus does not like journeys made halfway, doors half-closed, lives lived on two tracks'' with the same tone he invited those present to live lives pleasing to Jesus.
