Mangaluru, Jul 18: The Carmelite Order's patroness, the Blessed Virgin Mary, known as 'Our Lady of Mount Carmel' was honoured in Ladyhill English Higher Primary School with great fervour and dedication. The event in honour of Mother Mary was hosted by Class 6A students.

The festivities had started with a prior thanksgiving eucharistic celebration officiated by Fr Shabas Crasta, OCD. A solemn prayer service that emphasised the significance of grace for increasing divine connection was held on July 16.

On this day, the students conveyed the significance of the day and that of the Brown Scapular with the message that whoever wears the scapular will be shielded from all harm and danger. The 12 stars that adorn Mother Mary's crown were highlighted for their virtues.

For the 154th anniversary of the Apostolic Carmel Congregation's founding, they also remembered Mother Veronica, who offered education to young girls in coastal India.

Assumpta graced the event and used a PowerPoint presentation to highlight the virtues of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, which include being faithful, pure, patient, humble, obedient, and helpful. She also encouraged the students to cultivate the virtues of Mother Veronica, which include being united, gentle, kind, and striving to accomplish their goals in life.
