College, and to welcome Rev. Bro. Janaka Fonseka as the 38th Director of St.
Benedict’s College, at St. Lucia’s Cathedral, which was filled to capacity

been the three schools where Rev. Bro. Granville Perera served as Director,
concelebrated the Holy mass along with Rev. Fr. Tony Martin -Parish Priest
of St. Lucia’s Cathedral. The College Choir was in attendance singing hymns
of praise which included KYRIE, GLORIA, SANCTUS, AGNUS DEI and the final
