He covered the founding of the College and the contribution of its 14 rectors over the years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">Father Ruwan in his homily referred to the time he and his student colleagues made the trip to College to take swimming lessons in the pool. He said it was appropriate that we gathered to give thanks on this occasion for the benefits bestowed upon us by the rectors and teachers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">After the service the gathering moved to the parish hall for fellowship and partake of delightful refreshment packages thanks to the efforts of Campion Fernando. It was a special occasion to catch up with friends after being prevented by the pandemic for a long time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 20px;\">A big thank you to
