New Priest for the San Jose Mission

The St. Jude Malankara Catholic Mission, started last year, receives a resident priest for its pastoral care. Since the inception of the mission, it was Rev. Kuriakose Mambrakkatt, vicar of our mission in Los Angeles, who has been providing pastoral care to this mission. During the celebration of the Holy Mass, held on June 20 at the Holy Spirit Church, His Excellency the Most Rev. Dr. Thomas Mar Eusebius entrusted the pastoral care of this mission to Rev. Biju Varughese Edailakkattu. His Exellency thanked Rev. Kuriakose for the pioneering and painstaking leadership he gave to this mission. So also His Excellency extended cordial welcome to Rev. Biju Varghese. Rev. Biju hails from the Major Archdiocese of Trivandrum. The past three years he has been doing a licentiate course in Theology at the Sacred Heart Seminary, Detroit.
