This occasion took place on Wednesday the 17th at the college premises with the participation of the Rector of St.

Joseph’s College Colombo -10, Rev. Fr. Ranjith Andradi, Mr. Lahiru Munasinghe the president of the Vehicle parade committee along with Mr. Shehan Waranakula a representative of the batch of 2006.

Mr. Munasinghe stated that the main morale behind this donation is to support and strengthen all the renovation and development projects that are carried out on the college premises by Rev. Fr. Rector. He also said that all the profits that the vehicle parade 2023 generates through the sponsorships as well as the T-Shirt and Hat project will be donated to the Rev. Fr. Rector to strengthen all the projects that he is carrying out in the college.

This was followed by the handing over of the first Official Vehicle Parade T-shirt and hat to Rev. Fr. Ranjith Andradi Rector of St. Joseph’s College Colombo-10.
