“A thankful heart is a happy heart.”
S.J.T.C. celebrated the gratitude Day On the theme ‘The community celebrates freshness of water’. Before starting our preparation for the gratitude day we had a small prayer service conducted by Sr. Kavita Noronha. During the preparation we prayed for our community members, helpers, benefactors and so on. On the eve of our Gratitude day we had a thanksgiving vigil service mainly emphasizing on ‘living water’ given by Jesus. 
We also prepared some gifts for our community like cards, flowers, altar cloths, materials for house use, prayer booklets, etc. The day was filled with gratitude and thanking each and everyone who has been part of our community for their help and support. We ended our gratitude day with a small cultural programme by the candidates to express their gratitude to the sisters. The short programme depicted the culture of five states of Karnataka, Goa, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Assam. Though we belong to different states, culture, traditions we live together as one family which belongs to God. This is the beauty of our community life. We praise God for it. It was a joyful and wonderful celebration.
