¡§ Spirit of God

------------------------------------------------

Spirit of God in the clear running water

Blowing to greatness the trees on the

hill.

Spirit of God in the finger of water.

Chorus : Fill the earth, bring it to birth,

and blow where you will. Blow, blow,

blow till I be but the breath of the

Spirit blowing in me.

Dawn in the meadows the willows are

moaning

Sheep in the pastureland cannot lie still.

Spirit of God, creation is groaning.....

I saw the scar of a year that lay dying

Heard the lament of a lone whippoorwill.

Spirit of God, see that cloud crying....

Spirit of God every man's heart is lonely

Watching and waiting and hungry until

Spirit of God, man longs that you only

Chorus : Fulfill the earth..........¡¨

It is with the deepest sorrow and grief to announce that Rev. Fr. Julian Carpella S.D.B. passed away on the 11th day of April in the year of our Lord 2006 marking the successful conclusion of his 83 years of pilgrimage on earth and his humble and loyal service to the Good Lord

To offer our thanks to the Good Lord for the blessing s to our Alma Mater in the form of the late Rev. Fr. J. Carpella and to celebrate the life of an educator and an accomplished musician who, as Rector cum Principal of our Alma Mater from 1976 and 1982, led our Alma Mater to scale new heights in her academic and extra-curricular endeavours, affirming and continuing her fine tradition of espousing and putting into practice the teachings of St. John Bosco and the philosophy of an all- rounded education and thereby benefiting many a generation of Aloysians, a mass shall be held at the Chapel at St. Louis School at 7:40 a.m. on Thursday 27th April 2006.

The fond memory of the late Fr. Carpella teaching history and ethics at our Alma Mater will be cherished with affection by his students while his homily, filled with wisdom and wise counsel, delivered at the 11:00 a.m. masses on Sundays at St. Anthony's Church in the 1980's will be treasured and guarded with vigilance by his flock.

Old boys are urged to attend the mass to pay tribute and respect to the late Rev. Fr. Julian Carpella S.D.B.
