Dear Students, Faculty, Staff, Parents, and Guardians,
As the Bishop of our cherished Catholic Diocese, it is with great joy and gratitude that I extend my warmest greetings to each member of our school community.
Our schools are more than just institutions of learning; they are sanctuaries of faith, knowledge, and community. Rooted in the Gospel teachings and the rich traditions of our Catholic faith, our schools serve as beacons of light, guiding our students on their journey of spiritual and intellectual growth.
I am immensely proud of the dedication and commitment displayed by our educators, specially Rev. Fathers of our diocese whose unwavering passion for teaching not only imparts knowledge but also nurtures the hearts and souls of our students. Their selfless efforts in fostering an environment of love, respect, and compassion reflect the essence of our Catholic identity.
To our students, you are the future leaders of our Church and society. As you walk the halls of our schools, may you be inspired by the teachings of Jesus Christ to embrace empathy, humility, and service to others. Your potential is boundless, and I encourage you to pursue excellence in all aspects of your academic, spiritual, and personal endeavors.
Parents and guardians, your partnership with our schools is invaluable. Your unwavering support and involvement in your child’s education are integral to their success. Together, let us continue to uphold the values of faith, integrity, and community that define our Catholic identity.
As we navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, let us remain steadfast in our commitment to fostering a culture of inclusivity, diversity, and acceptance within our school community. By embracing our differences and celebrating our shared humanity, we can truly embody the message of love and unity that Jesus taught us.
In closing, let us entrust our schools, students, faculty, and staff to the loving embrace of our Heavenly Father, who guides us with His wisdom and grace. May His blessings continue to abound in our lives, and may we always strive to be beacons of light in a world that yearns for hope and compassion.
With prayers for abundant blessings,
Rt. Rev. Dr. Don Wimal Siri Jayasuriya
Bishop of the Diocese of Chilaw
