School's Centenary: 2011

I have been researching the history of the Presentation Sisters of Ireland ever since the HM of St. Antony's, Sr. Nirmala mentioned in passing that the school's centenary year would be in 2011 and that she did not have much data or records to fall back on.

My research is taking me to Ireland, Madras and some corners of India and I have been getting warm emails from nuns who are in charge of various zones.

I gather from the congregation that the nuns and Pudupet community plan to meet soon to discuss plans for the milestone. This is timely because it takes over a year to organise some core events. A book, a postage stamp, a centenary project, awards nite, alumni nite and stuff.

I will be posting here all the buzz on this landmark event. Do log in often.

Strange Ways of Alumni Assn

We received a surprise email from the 'core committee' of the alumni assn a fortnight ago, saying a Childrens Day fete was planned.

Thereafter, there was silence.

Sadly, the core team seems to work more in shadows than officially. The president does not wish to keep the communications line open, the secretary does not respond . . so old students who have joined the association the past year are left in the dark.
