Catholic Profile and
Affiliations
He was born into a poor Catholic Family in the small town of Mundamveli, Ernakulam, Kerala, India. His Father, Joseph, was a carpenter, and his mother, Pushpy, was a housewife. He was baptized in St. Augustine's Roman Catholic Church, Aroor, Alappuzha, Kerala, India, in September 1984. Growing up in a devoted Catholic Family, he was blessed with the opportunity to learn and practice all Catholic prayers from an early age.
His parents had just a primary school education, so he had no one to guide him in his studies and help him in his dream of higher education. Hence, from age seven, he assumed Holy Mother and St. Joseph as his spiritual parents and Infant Jesus as his best friend to seek help with his studies and life decisions. Moreover, the life stories of many Catholic saints he learned from his grandparents and elders inspired his sincere devotion to the Holy family. He regarded the Holy Mass, Eucharistic Adoration and recital of the Holy Rosary as the source of his energy to keep chasing impossible and challenging dreams throughout his life.
