Rev Fr Lisbert D’Souza, S.J., the Assistant General of Society of Jesus who stays in Rome came for an official visit to College Jnana-Deepa Vidyapeeth (JDV).
Fr Lisbert was born in Bombay and served in Bombay province for many years before lecturing in (JDV). He was a former chancellor of JDV and Rector of De Nobili College before receiving his appointment as an Assistant General.
We had the privilege of joining him for lunch together with our college President Rev Fr Job Kozhamthadam last Saturday, 6th August, 2011. Our Monitor (Caput) for Post Graduate Students, Rev Fr Saji, welcomed and greeted him. He said that Fr Lisbert knew almost 4,000 Jesuit priests in India by name. It seems there are approximately 17,000 Jesuit priests in the whole world.
Fr Lisbert is a very simple man with his cheerful look. He encouraged all of us to offer our services to this college in the future as lecturers.
