Notre Dame Day, celebrated on February 2nd every year, is a cherished
occasion in Notre Dame schools throughout the world. Students pay homage
to the rich history and impactful legacy of the Sisters of Notre Dame.
Sophia too celebrated the day amidst grandeur and grace on February 2,
2024. The festivities began with an engaging assembly, meticulously crafted
by the teachers and enacted by the Cuvilly students, highlighting the timeline
of the arrival of the Pioneering Sisters and their transformative contributions
since the 1990s to the present era.
The heart of the assembly lay in a captivating skit, performed to perfection by
the students, depicting the diverse ministries undertaken by the Sisters of
Notre Dame. From pastoral care to education and healthcare initiatives, the
skit vividly portrayed the unwavering dedication and selfless service of the
Congregation of the Sisters of Notre Dame.
A momentous highlight of the celebration was the presence of Sister Aruna,
esteemed chief guest for the occasion. Sister has been a former teacher of
Sophia High School and has served the community in various capacities,
bringing succour and relief to all who needed her care. Her presence added a
profound depth to the event as she engaged the audience with her insightful
reflections and personal anecdotes, reminiscing about the school's humble
beginnings and its remarkable journey of growth.
As the celebrations drew to a close, the Sisters of the Notre Dame community
were honoured with candles, symbolizing the commencement of the 75th year
of their unwavering commitment and service to society. The flickering flames
serve as a poignant reminder of the enduring compassion ignited by the
Sisters of Notre Dame, impelled by the "Flame of Imaginative Hope."
