On October 24th, the Golden Jubilee of Rev. Fr Andrew Lewis, marking 50
years of dedicated priesthood was celebrated in the seminary. Fr Lewis,
originally from Kinnigoli Parish, was ordained on October 24, 1974, and has
since served across the Mangalore and Udupi dioceses, as well as in Toronto,
Canada.
The jubilee celebration was honoured by the presence of Rev. Dr Gerald
Isaac Lobo, Bishop of Udupi Diocese, and Emeritus Bishop Aloysius Paul D'Souza,
who together with the seminary community and Fr Lewis’ family, priests, and
religious gathered for the solemn Eucharistic celebration.
As we commemorate this significant milestone, we give thanks for Fr
Lewis’ lifetime of ministry and rejoice in God’s enduring faithfulness. We pray
for continued blessings upon him in the years ahead as he continues his journey
in service to the Church and its people.
