    The appointment of Fr K.A.William as the Bishop of Mysuru is indeed a good choice. He is a committed pastor, an able administrator and an approachable Priest. He has a long innings of 23 years as Bishop and we hope and pray that the Catholic Priests, Religious - Men and Women, laity and the people of other faiths will find in him a "Good Shepherd willing to lay down his life for the sheep".
