The Archdiocesan presbyteral family came together on 13 October 2025 for a Mass of Thanksgiving with the Jubilarians, rejoicing in the faithful witness of our priests who celebrate significant milestones of their sacerdotal ordination. With gratitude to God, the Archdiocese honored one Diamond Jubilee and eight Silver Jubilees, giving thanks for decades of priestly service at the altar and among God’s people.
We are especially joyful that His Lordship Rt. Rev. Dr. P. Anton Ranjith is among this year’s Silver Jubilarians.

“I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have called you and you are mine.”
~ Jeremiah 31:3 ~
The celebration highlighted the enduring fidelity of Christ, who calls and sustains His priests for the service of the Gospel. United around the Eucharist, we offered thanks for countless confessions heard, homilies preached, the sick anointed, families accompanied, and the daily witness of pastoral charity that builds up our parishes and communities.
