Msgr Denis Moras Prabhu, Chancellor Fr Henry Sequeira were present when announcement was made.

M P Noronha, secretary of the diocese, has congratulated the newly appointed bishop on behalf of the laity.

Fr Peter Paul Saldanha, born on 27 April 1964 in Kirem parish, was ordained on May 6, 1991. He served as assistant priest at Moodubelle parish of present Udupi diocese and in Milagres and Vittal parishes in Mangaluru diocese.

He later went to Rome and earned a Licentiate in 2001 and Doctorate in Biblical Revelation in 2005 from Pontifical Urban University where he had been on the faculty for a long time.

Fr Peter Paul Saldanha has authored a book titled ‘The Church: Mystery of Love and Communion’ which reveals his knowledge and commitment to the church. He is known to be very people-friendly.

He was attached to St Joseph’s seminary and had been visiting hometown once a year.

Dear Msgr. Peter Paul Saldanha

PRAISE THE LORD; GLORY TO GOD

I Praise Jesus for selecting you as the Shepherd to lead the Diocese of Mangalore. We were praying in Every Retreat for the Diocese of Mangalore which is my home Doicese. God has chosen you to lead this beautiful Diocese cradle of vocations. Your love for the Church, Commitment, Simplicity and sincerity above all serenity is blessing for this Diocese. I remember the days as I was in Rome with Fr Alwyn Dsouza visited you...your hospitality and humility touched me because that was my first meeting. All of your students also told me how loving and compassionate you are. You were in a good place as a professor. Now you have said YES when Holy Father asked your consent. What we need a spirit filled and compassionate Father to lead the flock. Our team and prayer warriors will accompany you in your God given new MISSION in taking ahead this Diocese.

Be assured of my prayers always.

Accept my congratulations
May God bless you and your God given mission in the Diocese of Mangalore

I ALSO THANK GOD FOR BISHOP ALOYSIUS PAUL DSOUZA. HE ALWAYS APPRECIATED AND ENCOURAGED ME IN MY LAST 19 YEARS AS A PREACHER, YOUTH DIRECTOR. EVEN THOUGH I BELONG TO THE DIOCESE OF SHIMOGA..HIS LOVE AND ENCOURAGEMENT IN EVERY MEETING WHERE I PRESENTED REPORT AT REGIONAL LEVEL/ AT CBCI LEVEL HE STOOD UP AND APPRECIATED SAYING SPIRITUAL MOTIVATION TOGETHER WITH OTHER ACTIVITIES IS MUST THAT IS WHAT I SEE IN FR FRANKLIN. WHAT ELSE I NEED WHEN HE RIGHTLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT I WAS DOING IS NECESSARY FOR THE CHURCH. HIS BLESSINGS AND ENCOURAGING WORDS I CAN NEVER FORGET. MAY GOD GRANT HIM GOOD HEALTH AS HE RETIRES FROM HIS SERVICES AS BISHOP OF THE DIOCESE OF MANGALORE.

As I know you, my professor and now the new Bishop, you are one of the most Spiritual, Wise, Simple, Compassionate and Handsome just like our Lord and Master Jesus Himself. As your name itself rightly indicates you have a great love for Jesus like St Peter and a great love for His people like St Paul. You are not only a Bishop but a Saint in the making. We your students and brother priests are witnesses for this. God had a beautiful plan for you and through you a wonderful plan for the diocese and the society at large. Heart is full of joy here seeing the holiness we find in your eyes. You are God's choice.
I along with the tender teanagers in the diocese (YCS/YSM) congratulate you and pray for the Holy Spirit upon you still more.We assure you our devotedness and seek your blessings and guidence.May St Thomas whose solemnity we celebrate today intercede for you.

We now have a new Bishop for a vibrant Diocese such as Mangalore, and we have our existing Bishop equally strong and healthy to help and guide the new Bishop to carry on with all the ever-increasing responsibilities of Mangalore Diocese. May God bless all of us to help one another in order to make Mangalore move forward with more success in the days ahead.

Our best wishes to you, dear Bishop Peter Paul in all your new challenges. May you remain happy, healthy and successful in all your future spiritual goals in Mangalore, a fast growing "Smart City" of India.
