Stella Maris College hosts ‘CHRISTMAS MELODIES’
An Annual Christmas Carol Concert
To celebrate the birth of baby Jesus this festive season, the event was aimed to be meaningful and to reflect the love and selflessness of our Lord. Our College invited choirs to participate in the musical melodies of traditional and modern Christmas carols at “Christmas Melodies”.
The programme commenced with prayers and blessings by Rev. Dr. Fr. Maria Delasal Viswas, Professor of Philosophy, Sacred Heart Seminary, Chennai. Prominent church choirs and music groups performed live on our campus rendering a selection of much-loved Christmas carols – St. Luke’s Church English Choir, Catholic Faith Revival Movement, Satya Nilayam Brothers and Dhwani. Our College’s own music groups, Western Music Club, the Star of the Sea – Tamil, English and Manipuri Choir also participated at the concert.
The College had also organised ‘Christmas Bazaar’, a street market of stalls displaying home-made baked goodies, finger foods, accessories, clothing and apparel, planted pots and seasonal items. All the proceeds from the concert and the Bazaar will be donated for charity.
