The inauguration ceremony for the new
Academic Year 2015-2016 at the Philosophate was held on the 2nd of
October in the Marius Peiris Auditorium. Both the Rector of the National
Seminary, Very Rev. Fr. Elmo Dias and the Dean of the Philosophy department, Rev.
Fr. Ajith Wellington OMI addressed the students. Both Diocesan and Religious
Brothers were warmly welcomed. Rev. Fr. Rector invited all the students to use
the sources to the maximum and to live their vocation without just getting by
in the seminary. Moreover, Rev. Fr. Wellington reminded about the demands
regarding the study of Philosophy. At the end, the Director of the Philosophate,
Rev. Fr. Ajith Prasanna addressed the gathering. We look forward to a graceful
year in which love of wisdom is fostered in the hearts of our Brothers.
