Respected Fr. Patrick Walsh, the Rector
of Morning Star Regional Seminary, Rev. Dr. Jonn Romus the Dean of theology,
Rev. Fr. Susai Manikam the treasurer, rev. Spiritual Fathers, Rev. Fr.
Christudhas Animator of the 4th year students of theology, respected
staff members of theology and Philosophy faculty, Reverent sisters and my dear
friends good evening to you all. I stand here on behalf of 4th year students of
theology to express our sentiments of gratitude to all those who are associated
with our formation during our stay in Morning Star College.
It is beautifully said, “No
generation remembers us if we build up buildings, palaces, temples and mosques
unless we build the lives and human characters of peoples at first.” Precisely,
morning star seminary has built our lives and has formed us to be better human
persons in the society and as servant leaders for the people of God.
Although the three and half years of
our stay at Morning Star College, many persons have rendered their hard work
and offered selfless scarifies for our all round formation and
development. We are indebted and
grateful to all of them for everything. We are extremely proud of our
Alma-Mater, Morning Star College. Because we like clay pot have been made for
shining and moving forward with the invincible and dynamic spirit of the motto,
“Let your light shine.” We humbly acknowledge and give credit to Morning Star
College for making us what we are today. It has prepared us to share the
radiating light of Jesus in our own regions, dioceses, provinces and across.
Though we are conscious of many
people who deserve our deep appreciation and gratitude for the great
contribution they have made for our formation, at this juncture a few of them
need special mention. First and foremost, we thank the Bishops of the governing
board and the provincial of the CPPS congregation, for playing a unique role in
our journey of formation.
We recall the great role played by
our beloved Rectors, the present rector Rev. Fr. Patrick Walsh, the previous
rector Rev.Fr. Franklin Menezses, and Fr. Vincent Aind the acting rector who
tirelessly, dedicating themselves worked for our formation and growth. Dear
fathers out of your deep love for us and the church, you have given us a lot
and taught us a lot verbally and non-verbally. You have motivated us, changed
us and molded us to be new human persons. We deeply acknowledge your kind concern,
genuine love and care for us. Fr. Vincent Aind, as the principal of Morning
Star College, we admire your principle of living. Through your friendly and
sociable nature, you have been a source of inspiration to many of us. Apart
from teaching in class rooms, you have taught many things in corridors, games
fields and in Auditorium. Your simple corrections have helped us to be better
persons. We acknowledge your simple ways and thank you for what you have done
to us and what you had been to us during these last three and half years. Dear
Father Innocent, the Minister, we are grateful to you, we have received your
loving care, you were always ready to help us at any time. We appreciate your
service minded attitude; we thank you and wish you all the best.
We the 4th year students
feel, in this house the role of mother was played by our beloved animator dear
Fr. Christudhas, you were really good to us. In the time of need you extended
your great hands to us. Whenever we came to seek help from you, be at in time
or beyond time you were ready to give your full attention to us. You were a
perfect guide and gentle companion to us. Your prayerful support was
experienced everywhere whether in the class room or outside. You formed us
sharing your long years of experience and taught us like a mother. We humbly
acknowledge all that and will be ever grateful to you for what you have been to
us.
The completion of our studies at
Morning Star College counts the scholarly guidance and selfless dedication of
Rev. Dr. John Romus. Taking joyfully the great responsibility assigned as Dean
of the faculty of theology, you have respectfully dealt with each one of us. In
the field of studies and knowledge you have been a source of inspiration to all
of us. We feel extremely proud to of having a professor like you. Acknowledging
all your greatness, we thank you.
Dear members of staff, your
contribution towards our growth and formation counts not less than the above
mentioned ones. Moreover, you have played a unique and vital role in our lives.
Your good words and lovely gestures are impeded in our hearts and minds. We
deeply acknowledge your selfless service and commitment to our formation.
Through your vibrant teaching skills, you have imparted solid knowledge and
wisdom to us. The achievement of our B.th degree and completion of three and
half years of formation rests on your hard work and labour. We humbly
appreciate and thank you very much for all your services and lovely gestures.
At this moment, we are grateful to our
spiritual directors Fr. Valerian Nazrareth, the Sacred Fathers Yan and Michael
and Fr. Sebastian Rodriges for their valuable guidance. We also gratefully
remember all the visiting professors, former staff members, retreat preachers
and monthly recollection preachers for all the help they have rendered to us.
In huge measure all of them have contributed and inspired us to remain in the
right track in the journey of our formation. We sincerely thank them for what
they have been to us.
We acknowledge the kind services of our
beloved sisters, domestic staff and former students of Morning Star College.
Your contribution in various ways has helped us to stay happily at Morning Star
College. We sincerely thank you for all that.
We also wish to thank you our
beloved younger brothers, for your presence has added joy to the family
atmosphere of Morning Star College. As the 4th years and your elder
brothers, we have enjoyed your brotherly love and respect. We thank you for
what you have been to us. May God bless you in all your undertakings.
Please, forgive us, if in any
way, we have wronged you.
Once again thanks to one and all!
Good bye.

Year Brothers
