KUNJACHAN

Kunjachan uncle is just elder to Papa. He did his Pre-University in St. Joseph's College, Tiruchirappally
and then joined the Jesuits.
He preferred to remain a so called lay-brother.
That means he didn't want to get the priestly ordination,
although he had taken the vows of obedience, poverty and chastity,
just like the religious priests.
The lay-brothers are active everywhere except when the priestly service is required.

Kunjachen uncle is a consummate technician and is the director of a technical school in Sri Lanka.
Sri Lanka, an island worth visiting,
Rev. Br. Philip Panjikaran
will certaily be of service there.

Kunjachan uncle wrote us shortly:
"I am at present working in a technical institute in the north east war torn area of Sri Lanka.
It is an institution run by the combined efforts of the Jesuits and the Methodists of this area.
This place is similar to the Tamil Nadu.
People here speak only Tamil.
I teach systems and methods in the technical school.
I am leaving for my retreat in Kandy.
Kandy is the place where our Panjikaran Achan did his seminary".
