Though unworthy I am, God the Father in his boundless mercy, called me to be a missionary Priest of Oblates of Mary Immaculate (OMI). Being a missionary was more important to me than an opportunity given to me to go to abroad for studies.
I volunteered to go to Pandravedu mission where other diocesan priests refused to go. “St. Joseph Mission” as it was called, was considered to be a punishment area both for Government officials and religious.
