The Sri Lanka Air Force conducted a Multi-Religious Commemorative Ceremony today (25 July 2022) at SLAF Base Katunayake under the patronage of the Commander of the Air Force, Air Marshal Sudarshana Pathirana.  The SLAF usually conducts religious ceremonies annually to commemorate those who made the supreme sacrifice. However, this year ceremony was compelled to hold as a singular event.

This year’s event was held at the Sports Arena located at SLAF Base Katunayake with the participation of members of the Air Force Board of Management, Base Commander of SLAF Base Katunayake and a cross section of Officers and Other Rankers. Offerings were made to Venerable Maha Sanga and clergy from all religious faiths in order to invoke blessings on those who gave their lives for the nation.

This year’s Multi-Religious Ceremony was organized by the Directorate of Welfare together with the support of SLAF Base Katunayake.
