    We are so happy to witness the creation of a new Building for the priests in Konndapur, and this building was blessed with a spirit of prayer and jubilation.

    Our priests and nuns are doing so much for us in our daily life of prayer and meditation. Our priests go to different villages and towns that are far and remote, and give their very best of leadership by motivating each and every person that they come across. Our priests are more than our Ambassadors of our spiritual life that keeps our faith in tact and makes our feelings strong in the best interest of others.

    Our priests deserve the very best, because if they are happy and healthy in their daily pursuit of life, we all are also happy and safe, and the life will move along well for everyone.

    Our grateful thanks are always there for our priests, and may God take good care of them in their daily needs in life, which also includes a good home to stay, a peaceful home and a happy home that will keep them in good health and good spirits.

    We are so pleased to witness a new home for our beloved priests in Koondapur. We are so proud that the new building for the priests was recently blessed with jubilation and joy, and our priests deserve the very best.

    Our Priests are our direct Ambassadors between us and our God, and we always owe our gratefulness to our priests who do so much for us in our parishes and all our churches. It's a tough job to be a priest, and it is a tougher job to be a good priest in these changing times with greater challenges and hardships.

    We therefore owe our gratitude to all our priests, and also our nuns, for all their help and all their sacrifices towards all of us. May God take good care of all our priests and nuns, and may they enjoy the best of comfort so that they remain healthy and happy all the time.
