The name and fame of St.Patrick’s academy, angamaly was reverberated in Lulu Mall on 24th December when the multitudes who reached there gazed at the huge santa which emerged out of the paper cups blushing in various hues of paint. a large area was exclusively allotted in the central area of the mall and a very huge flex was spread on the floor.around 10:30 am ,the students and staff emerged from the supply room and began setting cups around the outline of the picture . by 7:30 pm the entire flex had been covered with cups filled with paint. consequently the paper cup mosaic turned out to be an awesome portrait of a cute Santa loaded with lots of gifts. Meanwhile the people who reached the place crowded near the Santa to gaze at and to say nothing but wow’. The creative venture was planned and organized under the leadership of Mr. Sumin who already set a Guinness record. Ms. elena & Mr. fernald and Mr.Sumin created a huge santa so deftly with the other staff and students of SPa.

treasure trove of loveit’s a matter of pride for Patrician Teachers to begin a noble venture titled ‘Teachers’ charity fund’. a particular amount is contributed by each teacher from their salary, every month and hence it can be utilized for noble purposes. an amount of rs 20,000 was contributed to Mr. Varghese to buy a push cart to earn his livelihood.
