We were deeply saddened to hear of the demise of our much loved priest Father James. He has been our spiritual mentor, a wonderful priest and a friend of the family. Father James had a wonderful sense of humour, he was warm and Sincere. He was a peoples person and related easily to anyone. He was eloquent having an excellent command of the language and his sermons were inspiring. The investment of the word of God that Father James made, and his kindness and giving spirit touched many lives not only members of the Christian community. He gave of his time and his life was committed in Gods service.
We had the privilege of knowing Father James for nearly four decades. He has been the priest our family turned to whether it was for a blessing, for prayer, officiating at many a happy occasion from Baptisms , to preparing my daughters for confirmation, or officiating at weddings in our family to ministering at the bedside when family members were sick or performing the last rites. He was available at any time of the day or night. Our family owes him a debt of gratitude for his friendship, his pastoral care and service and his spiritual encouragement and support spanning nearly 40 years. He will live on in our memories.
Our heartfelt condolences to Aunty Lathika, Prasadini, Deveshta , Jayadeva and their families, May God give you the comfort, strength and courage and enfold you in his love at this difficult time.
May the soul of Father James Rest in Peace
