Speaking about the priest Jessy D’Souza said that even though it is difficult to serve both a parish and a college, Fr Jerome served in both the places with smile and enthusiasm.

Accepting the honour Fr Jerome thanked the parishioners and said that he will still continue as their parish priest. He further said that serving in two places will not be a hurdle for him but he will accept it as his mission work. He also thanked the parishioners for their support and prayers.
