    Heartiest congratulations to you dear Fr Dionysius Vaz, SJ on the well-deserved assignment as the Provincial of Karnataka Jesuit province. During your tenure as Rector, you have done a lot for the St Aloysius institutions, especially to St Aloysius Gonzaga School, where I had the privilege to continue as the Founding Principal under your able guidance. The magnificent new St Aloysius Gonzaga School building, the first of its kind in Mangalore, which stands tall, speaks of you as a perfectionist in everything that you undertake. May you be blessed with good health, happiness and fulfillment in your new assignment.

    I have known Father Dianysus Vaz for the past several years as an outstanding Jesuit rendering service to the community specially to the needy.

    For some time now it was expected that he would go on a promotion and finally he is leaving. His going away to is a loss to Mangalore and a gain to Bangalore.

    I join several others in congratulating Father Dion and wishing every success in his new assignment.

    Au Revoir Father Dian and wish you the best of everything

    Congratulations and best wishes to the newly appointed provincial.

    Ad maiorem Dei gloriam, abbreviation AMDG, (To the greater glory of God) is the motto of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits). And everyone knows that they live up to this motto.

    Also, today (26 August) is the 110 birth anniversary of Saint Mother Theresa. Archbishop of Mumbai, His Eminence Oswald Cardinal Gracias is offering a mass at 7-30 am at Holy Name Cathedral, Mumbai, on her behalf.
