At the airport i was welcomed warmly by the provincial and community members with flowers n hugs. It was very fraternal experience. The whole morning i rested and recovered my lost sleep. In the evening i concelebrated a Tamil Mass with huge number of People attending the novena of St. Anthony. We went around after dinner to Marina beach, the biggest and longest beach. Visited the Cathedral and tomb of St. Thomas, the apostle too!
Tomorrow morning i officially begin the pastoral visitation of the fraternity. They are four and involved in the pastoral work of the Parish. Its a big parish named after St. Mathias. We begin with Holy Hour and opening talk.
