Farewell Programme

Fr Joel Fernandes SJ
As the Primary Administrator Fr Joel Fernandes SJ, said goodbye, the management and staff of SJBHS bid him farewell with heavy hearts. The short online farewell function showcased the contributions of Fr Joel in what has been a difficult year.
The programme started with a prayer and was followed by a video presentation of the year’s activities in which he played a stellar role. The messages by the staff were full of gratitude for a leader who guided the pre-primary and primary section during unprecedented times.
Our Principal, Fr Sunil Fernandes SJ, placed on record the selfless service and support rendered by Fr Joel. The newly appointed Primary Administrator Fr Vishal D’Souza SJ spoke on the positive vibes that always radiate from Fr Joel making him a person abounding in care, credibility and commitment. Mr Uday Kumar, the Vice Principal of SJBHS compared Fr Joel to a strong fresh breeze, short yet impactful and dynamic.
Fr Joel was visibly overwhelmed with the programme and thanked the Josephite family for their wonderful support, whole- hearted cooperation, for the lessons learnt at SJBHS and more so for the valuable memories that he would carry with him.
On behalf of the Rector and the management, a memento was presented to Fr Joel – a token of gratitude, a symbol of remembrance and a promise of prayers and best wishes for a new beginning!
