Mission Accomplished!

I have successfully completed my Master’s degree in Theology (MTh) at Jnana Deepa Vidyapeeth (JDV) and give thanks to God that I passed with a distinction.

My final thesis.

I started my course in June 2011 and ended in December 2012. My defence of my MTh dissertation was on Saturday, 1^st December 2012. The title of my thesis was “Dialogue as Mission: A Christological Imperative for the Church in Malaysia.”

My student life has come to an end. My sincere appreciation goes to my Guide, Rev Fr Mohan Doss, SVD and my two examiners, Rev Fr Thomas Kuriacose, SJ, and Rev Fr Prasad Langkapali, SJ.

I would also like to express my gratitude to all my lecturers, college mates, former parishioners, friends and clergy for all your assistance in my further research, reflection, understanding and not forgetting your supports and prayers.

Being congratulated by my friends and classmates.

I shall be back in Malaysia on 8^th December 2012. My last wish before leaving India was to visit Annai Vellangkanni Shrine in South of India, which I just did.  I enjoyed the serenity of the shrine and was fortunate to have been able to celebrate Mass there as well. I remembered all of you during the Mass and prayed for you and your families.

Sayanora to all my friends in India and looking forward to returning to Malaysia.
