Though very belatedly I wish to thank the Government of India and the Postal Department for their wonderful gift to the nation in the beautiful picture of the famous Shrine of Our Lady of Snows, Tuticorin, Souh India. I am proud in a way that I served in the Shrine as Parish Priest and Rector from 2000 to 2004 during which time the modern get-up of the Basilia was completed. Congrats to all who worked for this celebration. In 2000 also I was previleged to take the Golden Car Procession. Thanks and Blessings to all. Fr Joseph Rathnaraj at present at St Mary"s Catholic Church, Kalgoorlie, the Gold mining town of Western Australia.
