THANK YOU FR MATHEW PULLATTU

The whole Province wholeheartedly expresses its gratitude to you, Fr Pullattu, for your commendable service to the Province for the last 8 years as the Treasurer of the Province. We do acknowledge and appreciate your efforts to make the Province financially secure and sound, in spite of the economic crisis all over the world. We remember you with gratitude and pray for God’s blessings to continue your mission and ministries with the same zeal, energy and enthusiasm.

BEST WISHES FR BABY

We welcome Fr Baby Mullooparambil who takes charge of this important mission of the province as its new Treasurer. Please note that in all the academic and official documents of Fr Baby his name is recorded as Peter Mulluparambil, and
therefore, hereafter, he will be using the same name, Peter Mulluparambil, for all official documents and transactions.

PROVINCE HERITAGE COMMISSION

At the conclusion of the Province Jubilee Celebrations, it was realized that few of us have any proper knowledge of Jesuit History in Kerala. Knowledge of our history, with its lights and shadows, is a must for understanding the present and planning the future. To promote knowledge about our history and also, to preserve Jesuit Heritage in Kerala as best possible, after due consultations and deliberations, Fr Provincial constituted a Province Heritage Commission with Fr Roy Thottathil, Director of the Arnos Padiri Academy, as Convener. In the very first meeting of those interested in the commission it was felt that it would be best to keep the Heritage commission separate from the Academy. After further deliberations and consultations, the Province Heritage Commission is reconstituted with its office at Christ Hall and Fr Joseph Kottukapally as the Co-ordinator. All of ours are requested to take interest in the activities of the Commission and contribute in any way to make it a success.
