Parish business...

After the Mass Mr. Jesudasan, along with his son, came to arrange for the baptism of his daughter's child. I asked him to bring the parents, especially when the father of the child is a Hindu and i haven't seen them yet! He wanted that to take place on 26th and to be ministered by a priest of his relation. Somehow he wanted for that day alone and for which he expected me to give in which i was not ready to do. I didn't entertain any further talk and went away...
Sasi from Pallithura came to collect the list of names of the teachers and their children to come with Sr. Telma for visiting VSSC, especially the Space Museum. And he took me to the house of Mr. Velayudam, the Dy. Director of VSSC in his house just one house down our church. His wife, Ms. Nalini too was there. Gave me a cup of tea and were very good. He told that he used to listen to the homily in our church!
Catechism teachers' meeting. Spoke on authenticity. They were commenting on my homily and appreciated me. Rajeesh was not feeling well. Bro. Antony's family people are arriving Trivandrum for a site seeing and so he left little early.
Evening Mass. Homily was little lengthy now. A Tamil family from Malayam came to speak about the rectification of their marriage as both of them were widows. And also asking for the First Communion of the children of the husband. They were so happy when i talked Tamil.
Yesurajan's father-in-law came to invite me for the Ordination and First Mass of his son, a Jesuit. it is on Saturday, 9th October and First Mass on Sunday, 10th.
Mrs. George came to inform of her son's illness. She was crying as the boy was not in a good condition.
