The first chronicle on the history  of St. Joseph’s College, Colombo 10 titled, *Till the mountains disappear: The Story of St. Joseph’s College* initiated by the independent research of the late *Rev. Dr. Stanley Abeysekera* (the 10th Rector), and further researched for *six years* by the young Old Josephian, *Avishka Senewiratne* was launched on 19 January, 2021 in the presence  of *His Lordship, Rt. Rev. Dr. Anton Ranjith, the Auxiliary Bishop of Colombo, Rev. Fr. Victor Silva, Rev. Fr. Sylvester Ranasinghe  and Rev. Fr. Travis Gabriel* (former Rectors),  *Rev. Fr. Chrispin Leo and Rev. Fr. Joseph Benedict Fernando* (former Vice Rectors), priests, past and present teachers, distinguished  Old Boys from the 1950s to 2010s and many distinguished guests. A splendid review for this book was delivered by *General Gerry de Silva*, former Commander of the Sri Lanka Army, who was a student of the late Rev. Fr. Peter Pillai.
