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.
FR GEORGE KEERANKERI, S.J
(10 .12. 1944 – 16. 12. 2011)
We are sad to announce the demise of Fr George
Keerankeri who expired on 16 December 2011. He
was buried on 18 December, at the Nicholson’s
cemetery, near Kashmirigate, Delhi.

INVITATION TO SADHANA INSTITUTE
It will be the 25th death anniversary of Tony de
Mello on 2 June 2012. Sadhana Institute will be
celebrating SPIRIT OF TONY during 2– 4 June
2012. Since it is so long ago that Tony passed
away and people have either joined him or most
have moved to different communities since then the
staff at Sadhana Institute requests all those who
attended a Midi, Mini or Maxi Sadhana with Tony de
Mello to contact isfjeyaraj@gmail.com so that we
can send you an invitation to the 3 days celebration.
We also gratefully request all Jesuits who know of
any other religious or layperson who attend any of
the Sadhana courses with Tony to please remind
them about this occasion.
--Thankfully, The Staff at
Sadhana Institute.
