Sister Marie Bonin s.g.m. Director My dear Graduates, Congratulations on this, your Graduation Day! You have attained a threshold of accomplishment of which you are indeed proud. Having been closely associated with you during these three years, we share the happiness which you experience on this day. As you reminisce today over the past three years, many experiences flicker back into being. There were happy moments, trying ones, all of which developed this maturing process which is part of your nursing education. During these years you also witnessed many changes both in nursing education and nursing service. The concept of teamwork and concurrent teaching were inaugurated and you were made part of these innovations. It is my wish that you will always maintain this open-mindedness, this willingness to cooperate when the beacon of progress bids you to evaluate educa¬ tional methods or patterns of nursing care in the light of new and forthcoming trends. A challenging world is facing you. Be prepared, be courageous, be competent to meet the nursing needs of tomorrow. The success of our efforts to provide you with sound Christian principles and a well rounded nursing education does not lie solely in your marks you maintain, nor the diplomas which we offer you. The authentic proof of our success or discrepancy will be revealed five or ten years from now when you have left our institution. Do not be afraid to give yourself completely to your profession. Today’s world requires selfless souls to serve suffering humanity or worthy causes to promote progress. To maintain this ideal of professional maturity and total dedication you will need to seek God in prayer, availing yourself, thereby, of Divine help and guidance to assist you in radiating Christ in your endeavours and your ministrations. Dear Graduates, we are proud of you and we count upon you! Sincerely, Sister Marie Bonin, s.g.m. Director, School of Nursing.

Sister Lucille Gosselin s.g.m. Sister Superior Dear Lord, teach me to toil and not to crave for rest, to labour and not to seek reward, save that of knowing that I do Thy will.” These simple, prayerful lines we dedicate to you, Sister Gosselin, and we extend our heartfelt thanks, for it was through you and under your expert guidance that these three wonderful years were made possible for us. By planning improvements both in the hospital and the residence you have thereby enhanced our nursing education.

]t (Attending jliaff Dear Doctors, In this case we need not say O Lord, make us truly thankful”. We are that already, dear Doctors—thankful for your innumerable contributions to the professional education and general advancement of our school. Throughout our training, you have so willingly shared your knowledge with us and directed us in times when we knew not what to do. Your kindness, patience, and consideration have given us the necessary encouragement to continue along the rugged pathway of these three years. Even your occasional stern command or criticism has led us to greater efficiency as a professional nurse. A simple thank-you” seems inadequate, but as we pass from here to unwind the future, we will continue to say Thank you for all you have shown us and all you have given us in our passing”.
