From May 6 to 25, the 51st Summer School of Carnatic Music Camp was conducted at Satya Nilayam, Thiruvanmiyur, with 49 participants from various dioceses. The camp offered a unique blend of spirituality and music. During the solemn thanksgiving Eucharist, Fr. Britto Vincent, Socius of the CEN Province, delivered an inspiring sermon that highlighted the harmony between music and faith. He also presented the Arul Isai Mani certificates to seven students who successfully completed the course.

A highlight of the camp was a special concert by Fr. Wenish, Camp Director, featuring sacred compositions of late Fr. Santhiyagappar, a revered figure in Tamil Christian music. The participants showcased their talents through Bharatanatyam, year-wise performances of Arul Isai Keerthanaigal, and cultural programmes. The camp concluded with a valedictory function attended by 164 people, where instructors and guests were honoured, followed by a festive community meal.
