APX participates in Primary Section Investiture Ceremony

The St.Xavier’s High School Loyola Hall ( Ahmedabad ) Primary Section Investiture ceremony, Monday JULY 10th 2023.

The students, management & staff, parents & alumni were present for this solemn & sacred ceremony and were inspired by the presence and motivational words of the Chief Guest Justice Mrs. Vaibhavi Devang Nanavati ( High Court of Gujarat ) who is also a Jesuit alumna and wife of our APX member Devang Nanavati as well.

It is aptly said that leaders are the ones who move forward taking all the stakeholders and collaborators alongside, inclusively & cohesively.

The young meritorious leaders will definitely make it count in the years to come. A fulfilling morning it was on the school campus & marked an important start to many a young leader’s dreams and scope.

Fr. Gauci Sacco Rest in Peace

It is with profound sorrow and aching hearts that we bid farewell to Fr. Joseph Gauci Sacco, a priest who dedicated over five decades of his life to serving the Santals, the largest tribe in India. Fr. Gauci Sacco breathed his last on the 27th of June, 2023, at the age of 84, leaving behind a legacy of unwavering faith, boundless compassion, and unyielding commitment to his calling.

Fr. Gauci Sacco was not only a priest but also a beacon of hope and solace for the Santal community. Hailing from Malta, he embraced his sacred duty and was ordained on that fateful day of March 19, 1966, at the College of St. Mary's, nestled amidst the majestic Himalayan mountains in Kurseong, India. From that moment forward, his life became an extraordinary journey of selfless service, walking hand in hand with the Santals, sharing the love and compassion of God.
