From the Principal’s Desk

Namaste!

Welcome to St. Xavier's School Jawalakhel!

Dear Teachers, Students, Parents and well-wishers,

As we walk through our school corridors, we are surrounded by more than just classrooms, books, and laughter. We are surrounded by grace. Our school thrives on the deep conviction that God is active in our world, not just in prayer, but in every person, place, and experience.

This year, I invite you, to embrace the Ignatian spirit of "Finding God in All Things". "Finding God in all things" emphasizes that God is present everywhere—not just in holy places alone, but in the ordinary, the challenging, and the beautiful moments of daily life.

Grounded in Jesuit spirituality, this perspective encourages seeing God in nature, in relationships, in academic work, and even in moments of struggle. It can be tempting to only look for God in the "big" moments. But I encourage you to look for God in the small, ordinary occurrences of daily school life—the helping hand between classmates, the patience of a teacher, the wonders of nature during recess.

Let us teach our children to be Attentive (reverent of what is there), Reflective (appreciating its uniqueness), and Active in responding to that presence through service and love.

As we journey through this academic year, I invite you to cultivate a special awareness: finding God in all things. I invite you to take a moment each day to look back and notice these small miracles. Let us be a community that acts with love, seeing God in one another and serving others in our daily lives.

I invite parents, teachers, and students to join us in turning these insights into a permanent attitude: seeing God in the big successes and the small, mundane moments alike.

"Live for God, Lead for Nepal"

With every good wishes,

Fr. Leo Alphonse Raj, SJ
