Years ago, I donated money to the Society of the Divine Word missionaries. At one point, I wrote the US headquarters and asked if it would be possible to correspond with one of the missionaries. The reply I received started, 'God works in mysterious ways'. They had just received a letter from one of their missionaries in Africa, asking if they could find someone to whom he could write.His name was Fr Thomas Nelluvelly and he was a Malabar Christian before he entered the Order. He was on mission in Botswana after having worked in Northern India. He was able to visit us on a fundraising trip to the US. He is the only Indian Catholic I've ever met.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
