40th Anniversary of Ordination

On Dec.16th,the Fourtieth anniversary of my ordination was celebrated at the Mar Thoma Sleeha Cathedral, Bellwood, Chicago. Bishop Mar Jacob Angadiath was the main celebrant. Frs.Punchayil, Joseph Muttath , Antony Thundathil and Jogy Kaniampeedikayil concelebrated along with me. Fr.Puchayil gave a very inspiring homily during the mass. Immediately after the mass, there was a short meeting and then the children gave a few very colorful dance performances. It was snowing in the morning and the whole midwest was covered with snow in the morning. Apart from the inclemencies of the weather, everything went very well.
May God be thanked for his great mercy and blessings.
I had a few calls the next morning from India, offering congratualtory messages. The newspapers in Kerala carried the news of the anniversary.
