    Indeed the appointment of Rev. Dr. Stanislaus D'Souza has been received with great joy and jubilation by one and all and more particularly by The Mangalorean Community.

    Father Stan has spelt success wherever he went. Despite his high qualifications he has all along kept a very low profile. Of course this is a great quality of mind and heart which he has retained.

    Father Stan's predecessor Bishop elect Rev. Father Francis Serrao has left his foot prints behind for Father Stan to examine and follow.

    It is an established fact that Father Stan has an interesting but difficult task ahead of him but with his years of experience and fund of knowledge he should make a success of the job entrusted to his care by The Superior General Rev. Father Adolf Nicolas from Rome.

    Let us join wish Father Stan every success in his future job and may his mission be fruitful and a happy one.
