From the Principal’s Desk

Namaste and welcome to St. Xavier’s School, Godavari.

 “Collaborate, Accompany and Flourish”; is the theme of this academic year 2025-26. The theme is crafted out of DSS: De Statu Societatis Iesu 2023: Sent to collaborate in the reconciliation of all things in Christ, a document of the Society of Jesus, authored by the Superior General Fr. Arturo Sosa, S.J.  This theme in particular, is taken from the gospel of Mark chapter 16:15-20.

“Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature”. [Mk: 16: 15] They went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through accompanying signs. The fire that was kindled in the hearts of the Founding Fathers of the Society by the encounter with the Crucified-Risen One, launched them with enthusiasm to light other fires. As happens so often in the Gospels, the personal transformation brought about by the encounter with Jesus cannot be kept to oneself; like fire, it spreads easily. The Society of Jesus is born to spread the fire that Jesus came to bring, it is born to be sent to inflame everything with the love of the one who gave his life for the reconciliation of all things in Him. The Society of Jesus takes on its meaning by participating actively in the apostolate of the Church, helping in all things those who need and want to find the way to God. [DSS Ch. V:  First Paragraph “Becoming Collaborators in Christ’s Mission”]

Bringing the theme into practice is a big challenge but unlike any other year students and staff come up with such a creative idea to practice the theme of the year in the form of writings, poems, stories, one act play, dramas etc. talking about the theme, it is connected with the team spirit. Everything that we do, we need the help and support of the other, thus to accomplish the work, we need collaboration and cooperation from each other. If the students are collaborating and cooperating with each other, they need to be accompanied by the teachers. Teachers accompany and guide them in this process. Once this procedure is followed the end result flourishing takes place.

To practice the theme of the year Conscious Commitment, dedication and proper communication is very important so that Collaboration, Accompaniment and Flourishing is being experienced and this experience can pervade all around, and It has a greater impact on our Head, Heart and Hands to Live for God and Lead for Nepal.
