Rev. Bro. Niran Perera was appointed Sub-Director of St. Benedict�s College effective May 2012, replacing Rev. Bro. Emmanuel Nicholas who served as Sub-Director under the Directorship of Rev. Bro. Granville Perera during 2010 to 2011. Subsequent to Rev. Bro. Emmanuel been appointed as Director, Institute of Spiritual Formation of Asia at Mutwal, Rev. Bro. Praveen Vaz served as the Acting Sub-Director and rendered an excellent service and support to both Rev. Bro. Granville Perera and thereafter to Rev. Bro. Janaka Fonseka. Rev. Bro. Praveen has now been assigned, co-ordinator for discipline and sports at St. Benedict�s College.

Rev. Bro. Niran�s past experience as Sub-Director at St. Benedict�s College under the Directorship of Rev. Bro. Granville Perera will certainly add value to the management and be a mighty strength to Rev. Bro. Janaka Fonseka (Director).

We wish the Lasallian Community, God�s blessings in abundance.
