Best Wishes for Fr Paul Anand Prasad SJ

Fr Paul Anand Prasad SJ, the Primary School Administrator and Finance Officer of SJBHS, was the birthday celebrant and person of special mention on September 25, 2025. Even though Father has joined SJBHS in the academic year, his presence, influence, and charisma have had far-reaching effects from the students to the staff; from parents to the stakeholders; and from the admin staff and the support staff to the vendors. The love, respect and appreciation were evident in the prayer, the birthday song and the enthusiastic cake cutting. The outsized in-house designed card spoke volumes about the Primary School Administrator while the enormous cake reflected the magnitude of the efforts and interest invested by Fr Paul in his new venture at the school!

The Principal, Fr Norwin Pereira SJ, in his address, put on record the immense contribution of Fr Paul to the school and to the community. The analogy used was ‘Paul’ akin to St Paul of the scriptures, a tireless worker, full of passion and dedication, always striving for excellence; ‘Anand’ symbolic of happiness and deep joy coming from a spiritual depth; and ‘Prasad’ akin to a gift shared with others. The staff agreed with the head of the institution!

Fr Paul, in his thank you message said that he was overwhelmed with the celebrations and would like to document that he was overflowing with praise, joy and gratitude and wished that everyone in the world could feel loved, valued, and celebrated!

The celebration concluded with a fellowship meal, lots of bonhomie and every blessing for the birthday celebrant.
