    Dear Paul, elected and dedicated SMKC family members,
    Let the light of God shine on this earth through the goods deeds of SMKC family towards the marginalised society of Mangalore and surrounding areas as done during the past 18 years.
    We have been together through all the joys and turmoils of our Association and its light is still shining bright through our SMKC Education Trust Fund placed at Bishop's house and SMKC Medical Trust Fund at St. Anne's Friary, Mangalore. We thank our Dubai Sponsors who have supported us then and even now and laying the trust in our family.
    The beacon of hope and spread of SMILES to academic scholars and aid to sick and needy will never fade away due to roll back of funds from beneficiaries.
    As one family in the past, and as Mother Mary as our patron and role model, let us be together to spread the light and message of Jesus Christ. to all.
    Noel and Jennifer Mascarenhas
