Welcome to SPC ......

Alma Mater! Blest sanctum of learning,
Where the mind is adorned with rich lore,
And each tutored faculty’s yearning
Is sated and taught to seek more.

Alma Mater! Fond nurse of my childhood,
So indulgent, yet prudently firm,
Thy affection and smile cheer my boyhood,
And foster each heavenly germ.

Alma Mater! Whose love brooks no fetter,
To the heart thou doth culture with toil,
Tis that science and art may thrive better,
When rooted in virginal soil.

Alma Mater! When tired and faint-hearted,
In our minds mist and sorrow arise,
This glad secret your lips then impart,
The cross is both light and repose

Alma Mater! When launched on life’s ocean,
Oft’ temptation must needs try thy child,
Oh! Where all tends to stifle devotion,
Pray, Mother, lest I be defiled.

Alma Mater! Handmaid of Saint Patrick,
May thy mission like his soon be crowned,
And our Lanka, by Faith’s spark electric
Chaste, learned like Erin be found.
