Following is a message from Father Kumar:
Dear Friends
“A priest is one who makes Christ visible. Without
the priest, the passion and death of our Lord would be
of no avail. It is the priest who continues the work of
redemption here on earth...What use would be a house
filled with gold, were there no one to open its door? The
priest holds the key to the treasures of heaven: it is he
who opens the door: he is the steward of the good Lord;
the priest is not a priest for himself, he is a priest for you.”
Today, 1 am here to tell you that Bishop Liam Carry
has transferred me from Heppner and lone to Pendleton
as the pastor for St. Mary’s Catholic Church. I will be
taking charge of my new Parish on July 17,2014. For 18
months, as your Catholic priest, I have really enjoyed my
life, my work and playing golf. You are so good and loving
people to me. Though 1 am far away from my mother and
my other friends, I have never felt lonely or by myself.
Whenever and wherever I asked for your help, you were
there for me. In this short time of my stay here, I have
tried to do a few spiritual faith-oriented activities. I hope
whenever you sing Anima Christi, you will remember
me. It is my favorite song.
I will not be far from you, just 70 miles to Pendleton.
You are always welcome at St. Mary’s Church. Please
come and say hi to me when you are in Pendleton. I
request your continued prayers for me so that I can do the
Lord’s work according to His plans, guided by the Holy
Spirit. Your new priest is coming from India. I know that
you will welcome him as you did me. His name is Fr. Papa
Rao. Please pray for his safe travel to the USA.
He is of my age and from same diocese.
Though my stay here has been a short, I enjoyed each
day. At this time, 1 sincerely thank each and every one
of the lone and Heppner Catholic community. You will
continue to be in my prayers.
God Bless.
Fr. Kumar Udagandla.
