"සමිඳුන්ට ප්‍රශංසා වේවා"
අප එය ඉටු කලෙමු...
"පාස්කු නාට්‍ය සම්ප්‍රදායේ දකුණු ලක රන් සළකුණ" වන වාද්දුව මීසමට මෙතෙක් අඩුවක්ව පැවැති පාස්කු මණ්ඩපය, වසරක් තුල සැදැහැති මීසම් වාසීන්ගේ, බොදුණු මිතුරන්ගේ හා විදේස්ගත අයගේද නොමසුරු සහය ඇතිව පසුගිය මහ සිකුරාදා "තුන් පැය ධ්‍යාන මෙහෙය" පැවැත්වීමෙන් සම්පූර්ණ කලෙමු.
අප සැම සවිගැන්වූ දෙවිදුන්ට,
මීසම් සේවක ගරු ඉෂාන් ප්‍රමීන කන්නංගර පියතුමන්ට හා දිරිමත් කල, නොමසුරුව දන් දුන් සැමට වාද්දුව මීසමේ ගරු මීසම් සේවක පියතුමන් හා එක්ව පාස්කු කමිටුවේ
අප සැමගේ හද පිරි ස්තුතිය පුදමි...
ජේසු පිහිටයි...
