Dear Rev. Fr. Santosh Kamath. Congratulations and good wishes on this day. 50 years you have served the Lord in the most special way. May this anniversary bring happy memories to you. May the days ahead be filled with many blessings. We pray that the Almighty God grants you good health always.
Dear Fr. Santosh, Congratulations on your 50 years of dedication to God's service. May God bless and keep you happy always.
Two facets of Fr. Santosh’s life are less known. He visits the elderly to cheer them up in their homes and also offers them Holy Communion which is a boon for the aged with motor disabilities. He was also a regular blood donor and I should know this because he donated blood for my mother, while she was at Fr. Muller Hospital, even when he was a seminarian at Jeppu. For Mangalorean Catholics, Fr. Santosh, with his multi-faceted ministry, is an institution. While congratulating him on the platinum jubilee of his multi-faceted priestly life, may he continue his ministry for many more years to come!
Congratulations Fr Santosh. Instead of the usual greetings, I will send one composition about you. Here I go. Fr. Santosh, Ace Funeral Orator, Marks Golden Jubilee of His Priesthood By John B. Monteiro Fr. Ravi Santosh Kamath SJ, popularly Fr. Santosh, born on October 5, 1939 in Bajpe, is marking the Golden Jubilee of his priesthood on March 27, 2021. This is an apt time to re-recall one of the many facets of his priestly ministry - modifying an article I wrote in Daijiworld to mark his Platinum Jubilee in 2014. Those who have read Julius Caesar by Shakespeare will remember the famous funeral oration on the steps of the Roman Senate where the blood-soaked dead body of Caesar, stabbed to death by Brutus, was kept for the public to view. Mark Antony dwells on three ideas in his oration. He says the good that a man does is buried with his bones while the evil that he does lives on. He also says that he was there to bury Caesar and not to praise him. Finally, he declares that it was not that he loves Caesar less but he loves Rome more. With this rhetoric speech he rouses his Roman audience which turns against Brutus. Present day funeral orators say things contrary to Mark Antony’s protestation. They project the good that the dead did so that it lives on after him and let the evil that he did be buried with his bones. While the others take care of the burial part, present-day funeral orator is there primarily to praise the dead. He may not have loved the dead, or may not even know him while he was alive, but he is there to console the close relatives and friends who the dead leaves behind.
Dear Fr. Santosh, Sending congratulations and good wishes on this day. 50 years you have served the Lord in the most special way. May this anniversary bring happy memories to you. I pray that Jesus the High Priest will continue to renew, increase, and strengthen in you the graces received at ordination as you carry out his sacred ministry in the Holy Church. Myself and all my family members are grateful to you being available whenever we approach you. Lord God always guides you, protect you from all dangers and keep you safe and healthy. God bless you.

Dear Fr. Santosh, First of all Congratulations on completing 50 years as ordained Jesuit Priest. You are genuinely a gift to the Mangalore Christian community. Instead of conforming you transformed Fatima Reteat house bringing people close to God. Those who were unable to come, you went to them bringing Holy communion. You were literally available 24/7 for those who were in need of Pastoral care. You are a priest who looks for the opportunity to serve every one irrespective of social standing.
