Bengaluru, Feb 29: “I feel sad when I read in the newspapers that young boys and girls go the wrong way” Archbishop Dr. Bernard Moras told the convocation gathering at St. Germain`s High School, February 28^th.  The Archbishop recounted the humiliation suffered by the former President of India in his early days but drew reference to his determination and commitment to character and honesty that lead him to secure “100 marks” in academics. “Faith in God and Faith in yourself” the Prelate said is “the binding force in character formation”.

Recalling the contribution of St. Germain School (Estd 1844) in the presence of its Director Rev. Fr. S.
