Congratulations on your 
denis-ordination-20150514Parish Priest, St Antony’s Church, Kunthalnagar
Public Relation Officer (PRO), Diocese of Udupi

You are the image and likeness of God
But with you the morning awakens
With the call to rise
Not for you
But always for others.

God handpicked you from a myriad of souls
Molded you since you were a small
To prepare you for a journey
Not for you
But always for others.

God blessed you with wisdom
To use to give form to his plans
And love to carry them out
Not for you
But always for others.

Mary walks with you
Guiding and loving you
For to her you are a Christ
Not for you
But always for others.

You hold the Body of Christ
Embrace his name and proclaim it
And a father and counselor you have become
Not for you
But always for others.

God forever bless you
Walk and carry you when your feet are weary
Bring peace and joy to your heart
For though your life is never for you
It is Christ’s and he delights in you.

  1. Congratulations to you, dear Fr. Denis, on your completion of TWENTY FIVE YEARS as a priest. You have done a fine job as a priest and also as a Citizen of India. You have prayed for tens of thousands of people during your daily liturgical services, and others also have prayed for you on your dedicated and noble priesthood. We met you first at Sandesha many years ago and we were impressed with your leadership and your talented entrepreneurship. We have seen many of your achievements in the Mangalore Diocese and now we are seeing your wonderful performance at the Udipi Diocese. We have also witnessed your creative performance when Mangalore celebrated centuries of establishment at Nehru Maidhan and there was a beautiful Show on the stage where you were instrumental for the grand display. Thank you for all your dedication towards the priesthood, and may God bless you with continued good health and happiness so that you may shine much more in the Udipi Diocese. We have never heard of a place called “Kunthalanagar”, but if we find time on our next trip to India we shall try and visit you personally and honor you for your successful accomplishment of priesthood for twentyfive glorious years.

  2. Congratulations Fr.Denis.May the god bless you,keep you happy and healthy.I still remember those memorable days you were at kulshekar.Regards

  3. Congrats to you dear Father Denis. Good to see that you have touched another milestone in your life span. Out of your life – you have given twenty-five years to God and the service of people. At times you have sacrificed a lot but The Good Lord is never undone in generousity He has been kind to you in many many ways. You had a very successful term in Mangalore Diocese and then you decided to move over to Udupi where as it is felt and understood you are doing a great job as a Parish Priest and a P.R.O.

    Some say it WITH FLOWERS and some some say it WITH SONG. God has blessed you with musical talent and A VOICE the kind of which few people can boast of. Your homilies are liked and appreciated by all who have the pleasure of listening to you.

    I join the chorus of many when I say congratulations to you. May Heavenly Alchemist change silver to gold and platinum. God be with you in all that you.
