On the 6th of June 2025, the Eparchy of Parassala rejoiced as Rev. Fr. Robert Ennavila celebrated the silver jubilee of his priestly ordination. This quarter-century milestone was honoured with a prayerful and intimate ceremony held at Snehadeepam Minor Seminary, the nurturing ground of the eparchy’s future shepherds.
The celebration commenced at 11:00 AM with the Holy Qurbono, solemnly celebrated by His Excellency Most Rev. Dr. Thomas Mor Eusebius, Bishop of Parassala. Rev. Fr. Santhosh Ennavila, the jubilant priest’s brother, joined as co-celebrant, adding a familial warmth to the sacred liturgy.
The proceedings were gracefully led by Rev. Fr. Aloysius Thunduthottil, Rector of the Minor Seminary, and Rev. Fr. Anit Francis Mullassery, Procurator, whose reverence and gentle leadership shaped the day’s atmosphere.
Following the Holy Qurbono, a heartfelt felicitation ceremony was held to honour Fr. Robert’s unwavering dedication to the Church. The occasion was further blessed by the presence of his father, family members, and close friends, all united in prayer and celebration.
The gathering concluded with a shared meal, where fellowship deepened in the spirit of gratitude and joy.
As Fr. Robert Ennavila continues his priestly ministry, we unite in prayer for his health, strength, and enduring love for the Church and its faithful.
