Dear loving St. Joseph’s Young Priests Society,
Graceful and joyful wishes to you from your spiritual son Fr. P. Gayaraj. By God’s grace and your continual altriestic prayers and support I was graciously elevated to the Alter of God to give Christ and His good news to everybody in the world. As I was gradually stepping to the Alter of God, I realized your supporting hands behind me. So, till the last step, you are with me to hand me over to God as an instrument in his Vineyard. You are a monumental shadow to my life from the time God brought you to me. Your selfless service and munificence rendered on my life is unforgettable. They are always alive in my live.
I was ordained a Priest on 12th May 2009. Our Bishop Rt. Rev. Dr. P. Anthony DD Ordained me as a Priest. In the presence of God. There were so many priests, sisters, my parents, brothers and sisters etc. Ordinations ceremony and liturgy smoothly took place. My first Holy Eucharist was grandly organized by my parents with the co-operation of native Parish Priest. For everything O Thank God Almighty.
Today, I walk with the Lord to execute God’s kingdom and to give Christ to the people who are in need. Ever since my Holy Ordinations, I rejoice with the Lord by accomplishing His mission for his chosen people. I am now assigned as the Assistant Parish Priest at “Infant Jesus Church” in Adoni which is a biggest parish in the Diocese of Karnool. It has got 11 (eleven) flourishing substations which are located bit far from the mother parish. On every Sunday, we visit the Villages and offer the Holy Sacrifices in all the substations.
So once again thank you very much for your great support. Please do remember one and pray for me. I do assume you my wholeheartedly and remember you everyday in my daily prayers.
Thanking you,
Yours lovingly,

As it is said “gratitude is the memory of the heart”. So at this function I specially remember and realise all your found support for my priestly studies. I fold two of my words and thank you from the bottom of my heart. I assure you that I also offer masses for your good health and well being.
Right now I am happy and cheerful. My Ordination Ceremony went on very well. Altogether some 40 priests, 40 suns and 2000 faithful participated in the Holy Mass. The weather also was very co-operative. I celebrated my first thanks giving mass in my native village and prayed for you specifically.
