Children of ABCEA employees who had achieved success in academics were also honoured on the occasion.

Mr. Melwyn D'cunha, the chairman of MCC Bank, who spoke on this occasion, lamented that although Mangalore was the cradle for several national banks, the Catholic community was lagging behind in the banking sector.
