Dear Brothers of the Maris Stella College Batch of 2001,
It is with immense pride and heartfelt joy that I welcome you to the official website of our Batch of 2001.
As we look back on the years that have passed since we left the halls of Maris Stella College, we are reminded of the friendships we formed, the values we embraced, and the experiences that helped shape the men we are today. This website has been created to honor those memories, reconnect us across time and distance, and strengthen the brotherhood that began within the walls of our beloved alma mater.
Guided always by the motto “Iter Para Tu Tum” – Show us the way, we continue our journey with faith, purpose, and unity. Whether you’re here to catch up on batch news, relive cherished moments, contribute to our ongoing initiatives, or simply reconnect with an old friend, I hope this space feels like home.
As your President for the year 2024/25, I invite each one of you to stay engaged, stay connected, and carry forward the spirit of Maris in all you do.
Milan Warnakulasuriya
