Celebration of Golden jubilee of Fr Andrew Lewis

24-10-2024

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.
