Imphal 29 December 2020: The Anal Catholic Church on Wednesday was blessed with the two religious priests, both happened to be brothers from Holy Trinity Catholic Church, Lamphou Pasna village in Chandel. Fr Anal Augustine SDB and Fr Friny Peter CSC were ordained on Tuesday (December 29) at St Joseph’s Cathedral, Mantripukhri by His Grace, Most Rev Dominic Lumon, Archbishop of Imphal, Manipur. The happy parents – Mr Rl John Phamhring and Mrs Lk Marygrace Lolita of St. George Church, Lamphou Charu, a village under St Dominic Mission Centre, Lamphou Pasna were full of praise and gratitude as their sons stood at the altar to be His priests forever.
Fr Anal Augustine, though ordained a deacon a year ago waited to be ordained priest along with brother Fr Friny. Today Fr Anal Augustine and Fr Friny Peter are happy to serve the Lord in two different congregations namely Salesians of Don Bosco (SDB) and Congregation of the Holy Cross (CSC) respectively.
