St. Mary’s 115th Anniversary Dinner

The SMPSA celebrated the 115th anniversary of our Alma Mater on 3 October 2015 by hosting the Anniversary Dinner which took place at Palace, The One, Tsimshatsui. Alumnae, friends and family were first invited to a campus visit in the afternoon where they could share reminiscence of their schooldays. Later in the evening they joined the dinner which was unexpectedly embraced with heavy rainstorm and typhoon signal no. 3, adding a more extraordinary touch to an unforgettable evening!

Over 950 participants came for the function, packing the restaurant with 80 tables. We were most delighted to meet many retired and current long-service sisters, teachers and staff of SMCC and SMCS, as well as graduates of all generations, some coming with their daughters or granddaughters who are all St. Marians! Amidst the delicious food served, participants busily engaged themselves in catching up with one another, and taking group photos or selfies – the time was never enough!

We would like to sincerely thank the numerous hands and brains who contributed to make the celebration a success – teachers, school staff, student helpers, prize sponsors, volunteers, exco members etc. We also thank our guests for their active participation, making the event another fruitful evening of joy. May the Canossian spirit live on, and God bless St. Mary’s!
