On 26th July, Convent of Jesus and Mary International School celebrated Parents’ Day with heartfelt enthusiasm and reverence. The event began with a solemn Eucharistic Celebration led by Fr. John Berkman, setting a spiritual tone for the day. The theme, “A Journey of Love and Sacrifice,” beautifully captured the essence of parental devotion. Following the mass, parents and guests were treated to light refreshments before the main programme commenced.
The cultural programme was both moving and meaningful. A video presentation on the lives of St. Anne and St. Joachim – the parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary – reminded everyone of the roots of parental love in faith. This was followed by a graceful dance performance expressing gratitude towards parents, and soulful songs highlighting their role in shaping a child’s life. A short skit portrayed the invaluable contributions of parents in a child’s upbringing, and a touching poem recited by student Dion added a personal and emotional touch. The event concluded with a warm vote of thanks, leaving all present with a deeper appreciation for the love and sacrifice of parents.
