Congratulations to Mr Ignatius D’Souza, Kanajar

 

 

Mr Ignatius D’Souza the Vice President of the Kanajar Parish Pastoral Council was honoured by the Parish Priest Fr John Mendonca on Sunday the 2nd of March 2014. Mr Ignatius D’Souza has been re-elected for a second term and now is a nominated member of the Diocesan Pastoral Council.

 

Felicitating Mr Ignatius, the Parish Priest said “Mr Ignatius D’Souza has created history at Kanajar. In the 76 years of history of Kanajar Parish none of its lay Administrators or Vice Presidents was member of the Diocesan Pastoral Council. The Bishop of Udupi having considered the meritorious service rendered by Mr Ignatius D’Souza to the Kanajar Parish and the Karkala Deanery has appointed him as a member of the first Diocesan Pastoral Council. He is the only nominated member from the whole of the Karkala Deanery, that is, from eight parishes. This membership is for duration of three years.”

 

On behalf of the whole parish the Parish Priest presented him with a decorated candle and said “a burning candle is a sign of self giving in service. Let your service be now available not only in the Parish and the Deanery, but also at the Diocesan level. I wish you all the best. May Our Lady of Lourdes guide you and God Bless you.”
