I am from India and I was born on September 30, 1983 in Kerala one of the states in southern India. My mother is a widow. My father died when I was six years old. I have a married sister with two young sons and my brother-in-law is a teacher. I also have a younger brother who just finished his studies at a local university.
I joined the seminary in 1998 and I was ordained to the priesthood on May 12, 2010. After my ordination I worked as an associate pastor for one year and then I was appointed to train the young seminarians who are aspiring to become priests. And later I was appointed as pastor in a mission parish.
After my ministry for five years in India, in 2015 I came to the USA, to the Diocese of Sioux City and I was appointed to be the associate pastor at St. Joseph church, Milford. After serving in Milford for two years, now I am here as one of the associate pastors of the Carroll county parishes to serve you all.
I enjoy very much this great vocation that God has given me. I promise you that I will be always available for you; Celebrating the sacraments together and to be part of your lives in times of sorrow and of joy. And I will accompany you on your spiritual journey always.
Thank you very much for welcoming me into your midst with great care and love and for allowing me to serve you all. May the abundant blessings of the Trinitarian God be with all of us always, very specially now as we are undergoing this big transition.
