Inter-Faith Prayer Service

Secularism that is the ethos of SJBHS



An acceptance of race, religion, caste and creed must counter hatred, division, apathy and indifference. To foster a fraternity that believes in justice, harmony and secularism, SJBHS has two inter-faith prayer services at the commencement and closure of every academic year.

On 25 th June, 2024 an inter religious prayer service was held in SJBHS. The students and staff embarked on a prayerful journey in an attempt to embrace peace that helps individuals to create a compassionate society. To connect more closely with God, students rendered a devotional song in both English and Hindi along with readings from the scriptures. This segment enabled the students to use all their senses to connect with the Almighty and each other so that we may live harmoniously.

The students of Std 5 danced to the melodious tune of a devotional Kannada song invoking God’s blessings and guidance. To further motivate the young minds, the Principal Fr Sunil Fernandes SJ addressed the gathering emphasizing on the importance of a peaceful community and reiterating the conviction that goodness and happiness promotes social cohesion and community development.

The prayer service serves as a reminder that no matter what religion one follows or which faith one advocates, it is secularism that is the ethos of the school and underlines all activities that are part of our curriculum.
