Br. John Antony, former General Definitor

We communicate with sadness the news of the death at age 76 of Br. John Antony (Province of Northern Tamil Nadu) on October 29, 2024, in Trichy. General Minister Br. Roberto Genuin and the brothers of the General Curia join the brothers of the Province in expressing gratitude to God for giving us this confrere and for the service he performed for the whole Order.  Throughout his life, he has assiduously served God's Church and our Order as a teacher and formator, parish priest, guardian, editor of the provincial bulletin, as well as provincial secretary and definitor, provincial vicar, provincial minister (for 4 terms), general definitor (2006-2012), and pastoral consultant.

We thank the Giver of All Good Things for all that he blessed us with during Br. John's lifetime. May our sympathy and prayers for his repose reach the Provincial Minister and all the brothers of Amala Annai Province. We thank the Father of Mercies for the gift of this brother to us and now, in return, entrust his soul to Him.
