The Vincentian Saints & Blesseds
(Biography and Liturgy)
The Fr. Jose Aikara, C.M., Provincial South Indian Province presented the book the “Vincentian Saint and Blesseds”.
This book is the compilation of biographies and liturgies of the “Saints and Blesseds” of Vincentian Family Fr. Augustine Palayilthayil, C.M., who is a versatile Scripture scholar and a linguist, who completed his theological studies and research in Salamanca, Spain. He was ordained Priest in the Congregation on the Mission in 1964. A lion’s share of his Priestly Ministry was spent in the formation of the future missionaries. Along with the teaching in the seminaries he has contributed greatly in the liturgical text. He has translated the complete Bible into Oriya. Besides that he has also translated the lectionaries and the Sunday reflections in Oriya to the advantage of the Orissa church. The present book is another example of his illustrious efforts in the facilitating the liturgy especially of the Vincentian families.
I am sure that this book will be of immense use to all in general and to the Vincentian double Family in particular. I take this opportunity to thank Fr. Augustine on behalf of the Province, for his painstaking undertakings. And I invoke God’s blessing and wish every success for wider circulation and use of this book in the liturgical services.
