Dear Fr. Kuriakose Vadana and the parishners,
I was extremely happy to be there on the occassion of the birthday celebrations of Fr. Vadana and the Onam celebrations. It was a fantastic event and it showed that you are all one with the Lord. Though the community started as a mustard seed, I am sure you will grow into a big tree envisaging the vision of the Lord. Also the prayer meeting I participated at the House of Jimmy and Anu also showed me how you are all spiritually nourished and well taken care and how much importance you give to the spiritual dimension of life. So I congratulate you all and Fr. Vadana for organising the Syro Malabar community in such wonderful manner. I wish you all a wonderful time and Let the Lord bless you all abundently.
