If the Lord does not build the house in vain do its builders labor. Ps 127, 1.
It was a joyous occasion on 20 October, when the new hostel building for Boys was inaugurated by Fr Thathireddy Vijaya Bhaskar, our beloved Provincial.
The hearts of Fr Gopu Anand, the Rector, Fr V. Balashowry the Principal, that of the Salesian Community and the entire student and teacher body were filled with gratitude to God and to the Benefactors for this marvelous gift to Don Bosco Academy. The Inauguration began at 3 p.m. with the prayer and blessing of the building which will accommodate around 500 boys. Fr Provincial addressing the gathering thanked Fr Gopu Anand for his wonderful work and creative fidelity. He presented him with a memento for all the valuable services he has rendered through the years.
