Carlyle reached such dizzy heights with a band of exceptionally talented schoolboy cricketers who had gained admission to the University. It was an era when cricket was more a pastime than a full time commitment. But ...

Roman Catholic filmmaker Noel Crusz-by Robert Crusz Source:Dailymirror Noel Crusz was born in 1921 and ordained a Roman Catholic priest in the order of the Oblates of Mary Immaculate (OMI) in 1948. Finding that “celibacy is martyrdom”, as he wrote, he was dispensed from his vows and returned to lay status in 1965. He married in 1967, emigrated to Australia and passed away there in 2003. The famous Australian journalist, the late Alan Gill, writing about Noel Crusz, said “He was at various periods, sometimes concurrently, priest, filmmaker, writer and journalist. Add ventriloquist, puppeteer, broadcaster, catechist, and beloved husband of his wife Tirzah, and you have the measure of the man.” Fr. Aloysius Pieris S.J. called him “ … a Catholic priest decades ahead of his country’s local Church in appreciating and fostering the catechetical potentialities of Social Media ….” In a newly published book, “Noel Crusz’s Little Bike Lost ...

ST. JOSEPH’S COLLEGE DURING WORLD WAR II – PART 2-By Avishka Mario Senewiratne Source:ST. JOSEPH’S COLLEGE DURING WORLD WAR II The British occupy the College Given the extraordinary circumstances the country was facing due to the tense Japanese intervention during World War II, we discussed in the first segment that St. Joseph’s College had to be given over to the British so that they could station their Royal Navy in the school premises. It was they who occupied the College during 1942-1946. Part 1 of this series gave a glimpse of how the College functioned in exile at distant branches in Borella, Homagama, Kelaniya and Gampaha. Therefore, discussing what the College ‘premises’ went through during this time is equally important. Young ladies (Wrens) from the lands of our colonists, who had joined the British Royal Navy, had to come to Ceylon, one of their best-known colonies, at the height of the worst ...
