My Faith Journey
I was born into an ordinary Catholic Family in the small town of Mundamveli, Cochin, Kerala, India. My Father, Joseph, was a carpenter, and mother, Pushpy, was a housewife. I was baptized in St. Augustine's Roman Catholic Church, Aroor, Kerala, India, in September 1984. Growing up in a devoted Catholic Family, I was blessed with the opportunity to learn and practice all Catholic prayers from an early age. However, since my parents had just a primary school education, I had no one to guide me in my studies and help me in my dream of higher education. Hence, from age seven, I assumed Holy Mother and St. Joseph as my spiritual parents and Infant Jesus as my best friend to seek help in my studies and significant life decisions. Moreover, the life stories of many Catholic saints I learned from my grandparents and elders inspired my sincere devotion to the Holy Family.
From an early age, I regarded the Holy Mass, Eucharistic Adoration and recital of the Holy Rosary as the vital energy sources that enabled me to keep chasing impossible and challenging dreams throughout my life.

I was raised in a devoted Catholic life since childhood and have always had great faith in the Holy Family. Growing up, I never felt alone or excluded from my faith; instead, I had a strong sense of belonging that has only grown deeper with time. Through encounters with people who shared different faiths and beliefs, my Catholic identity became even more apparent: I am blessed to belong to such a vibrant community renowned for its deep love for God and commitment to serving those around us.
My faith is not just something that exists within me - it is an integral part of who I am today.
