    Congratulations to all especially to Rev. Dr. J.S. Sadananda for inaugurating the CSI Christ Church at Katapady. We also thank all the other pastors, well wishers, the members and everyone who made this mission come through. Above everyone, our Lord Jesus CHRIST has to be remembered as he was the provider for all this. Once again I cannot mention each and every name but our prayers are there for everyone. I and my family will hopefully visit this new church in our visit to India next month. God bless you all.

    Congratulations for newly built church.CSI church had immense contribution for education and healthcare in our area.For example christian high school and mission hospital in Udupi are the land mark institutions gifted by CSI.In addition their contribution in technical field also immense.Hebich technical school in Balmatta,Mangalore is the oldest training institute and pruduced millions of ace technicians and still remains as a classic institute.I am greately impressed by the devotion of these people and inpired by their gospel music too.My best wishes to all CSI members.

    A beautifully built church! Hearty congratulations! May it serve as the House of the Lord for all of you and bring God's blessing.
    I think Katapadi was famous for Jasmine flowers. So, may you will serve as centre that spread sweet fragrance of the Good News of our Lord all around! God bless!

    I am extremely happy to observe that The Church of South India under the leadership of Rev. Doctor Sadanand - Bishop of CSI is making rapid progress in all directions. Indeed the Christian missioneries have done a lot for the people of India and particularly for the people of Dakshina Kannada. The best gift one can another is the gift of education and that is what people of all communities and denominations have received at the hands of these people of God. It is good to see that individuals of communities assembled on the occasion of the opening of the Church in Kadpady. The newly elected MLA - Mr. J.R. Lobo indeed has turned into a peoples' man attending several important events. Mr. Sorake of course over the years has rendered excellent service to all concerned in his area and outside.

    It is my pleasure to send my greetings and good wishes to Bishop Sadanand -, Mr. Sorake, Mr. Lobo and all dignitaries who attended the function.

    Congratulations for the newly built CSI Christ Church at Katapady. Is this place close to Udipi? We have been to Katapady many decades ago, and would like to visit the place again, if that is the same place.

    Nice to see Mr. J. R. Lobo also present for this auspicious occasion. This is all part of the Ecumenical movement that we need to enhance and make our community a better place to live and prosper.
