Dear Parishioners,

 

I’m happy to have Father Joseph Moonnanappallil assigned to Assumption and St. James Parishes, replacing Father Kombo.

 

Father Joseph’s first assignment in the United States was as Parochial Vicar at Saint Augustine and Saint Paul Church in Glastonbury.

 

He was born in Kerala, the southernmost state in India. The history of the church in India goes back to Saint Thomas the Apostle who founded the church in 52AD. Father Joseph went to Saint Joseph’s Pontifical Seminary and was ordained a priest on December 29, 1992 for the diocese of Palai, the diocese which has the highest number of vocations to the priesthood and religious life in the world.

 

Father Joseph will live at Assumption, along with Father Gregory. His office will be at Saint James, where he can be reached by telephone at 643-4129.

 

Please join Father Gregory and myself in extending a very warm welcome to Father Joseph. We are so fortunate to have him with us!

 

Father Cavanaugh
