News from Manvi
 
Updates from Fr Eric SJ
 
Just yesterday our PUC girls won the volley ball tournament at the district level and have qualified  themselves to compete at the State level. This is the first College batch that has shown  its talents in co-curricular activities.  It is a great pride for them  that villages from Pannur and surrounding corners are  getting focused  at the State level. This is the group photo of our players  flanked by Mr. Ron( Australia) from the left  side and his wife Diana on the right. Rajesh and Fr Rohan  are close to Diana. Rajesh is the coach.  28/9/10
 
 
 
It is quite some time now since we wrote to you.   We have already started building  houses to the flood stricken people of Pannur Mission   and by the end of December 2010 we hope to complete  the first phase of  houses. People are  so happy to  see their houses taking shape  and they themselves  are involved  in contributing  their share of labour. 
 
Our PUC building is under construction. The ground floor is nearly completed. We hope to use this part of the building for the PUC from June 2011.
 
Pannur Medical Centre  is running well.  Four Sisters  of  St. Joseph of Tarbes are at the service of our people  and a number of people are visiting this centre and availing themselves  of kind services from our Sisters.  Our children in Manvi are doing well and enjoying their studies. 
All are preparing for the birthday of Fr. Maxim which will be held on the 2 of November 2010. The children will present a programme on his 78 B’day. 
Fr Eric Mathias SJ 26th October 2010
 
Fr Eric Mathias SJ will be leaving Pannur Mission in June 2012 to take on another post. His vision and energy have been instrumental in the success of the mission. He has been a generous host  and an inspirationto those who have visited Pannur and Manvi.We will miss him greatly and I'm sure many of you will want to wish him well in whatever role he is asked to take on next.
