It gives me the immense joy to rejoice with St. Philomena Institution Hassan, managed by the Sisters of Charity Educational Society, Mangalore

I feel proud that this institution has given life and secure future to thousands of girls since 1945 in Hassan. St. Philomena has made the pursuit of excellence a way of life; a habit and has provided a balanced environment focused on shaping children into leaders of tomorrow by offering comprehensive education through a developmental approach. The school environment promotes order and discipline, independence, a love for learning, a connection to the world and a sense of social responsibility. Special emphasis is placed on the need to serve others while actively contributing to the school community and society as a whole.

While I congratulate you for the platinum years of service in the teaching field I wish, may you continue on the path of steady progress, forming the young girls who can be the invaluable assets to society.
