'Magician priest' enthrals students

In fact, it was a fun filled hour for all the students who were eager to watch the magic show organised by the Institution.

Prior to the magic show, the priest, the winner of prestigious CPCI National Award for Excellence was felicitated by Rosario School Correspondent Rev Fr Stany Goveas. “In spite of being 60 per cent handicapped, the courageous and brave Fr Ivan has been passing great messages to the students,” said Fr Stany Goveas. His determination and his novel aim to educate children through magic is really appreciable, he added. In his reply, Fr Ivan Madtha said that magic is an extension of science. “Belief in god is the most important thing. It gives you strength even if you are physically handicapped; it gives smile on your face. But if you don’t have trust in god, even if you have hundred hands, it is of no use,” he said. The felicitation was followed by the magic show by Fr Ivan. Rosario High School Head Master Aloysius D’Souza and Assistant Head Master Janardhan Rao were present.
