A teacher: Our role-models, second parents and for the rest of our lives, an undying guide. When we commit mistakes, a good teacher will not hesitate to point them out to us. Also, they help us to walk on the right path and endow us with life skills. A teacher besides involving with main objective of teaching, also moulds the heart and mind of students. A teacher is a person who helps others to learn and prepare children for their life

In the heart of Kolkata, India, a woman once walked the narrow streets, her small frame draped in a simple white sari with blue stripes. This woman, known to the world as St. Teresa of Kolkata, or Mother Teresa, dedicated her life to serving the “poorest of the poor,” a phrase that echoes her deep commitment to the marginalized and destitute.

The Grandparents Day celebration, organized by the Catechetical Association, was held on July 21st 2024 at St. Sebastian Parish, Aquem. The event began with a solemn Mass at 9:00 AM, which included a special blessing for the grandparents, where they were sprinkled with holy water as a sign of God’s grace and protection.

Following the Mass, a short program was arranged to honour the grandparents of the catechism students. The program featured a variety of performances, including a welcome song, a dance, a skit, and a retro dance, all of which were performed by the catechism students. These performances were the result of the hard work and dedication of both the students and the catechists. The catechists also played a crucial role in helping with the decorations and other arrangements. Additionally, the parents made significant efforts by transporting their children to and from practice sessions.

Have you ever taken a sip of hot coffee or savoured an ice cream and felt a sudden jolt of pain in your teeth? You may likely have sensitive teeth. While it is common and treatable, understanding tooth sensitivity, its symptoms and causes, and preventive measures is essential.

Teeth sensitivity can occur when you consume hot, cold, sweet or sour foods and drinks, or even by breathing cold air. Pain can be sharp, sudden and shoot deep into tooth nerve endings.

My wish for my mother is to have a long healthy life filled with happy moments. I pray to God to fill my mother with His grace and strength. Happy Mother’s Day to the world’s best Mom!
