Dear Father,
I congratulate you for bringing out Petrus month after month with editorials both relevant and thought-provoking. Your reprints from The Priest, Our Sunday Visitor, Homilectic & Pastoral Review etc. are made available to the clergy, religious and seminarians without their having to subscribe to them. In addition to these Petrus gives free the encyclicals and other teachings of the Church immediately after publication.
While preaching a retreat to the students of fourth year theology, St. John’s Major Seminary, Hyderabad, AP, from 25th to 30th September in preparation for their diaconate I proposed to them to subscribe to Petrus. I was much delighted that all the newly-ordained deacons (40) gave their new subscriptions. I am sending you the address and the amount.
If our archbishops, bishops and major superiors encourage their priests and students to read Petrus, our work of evangelization will be doubled and pastoral ministry made more fruitful.
I hope and pray that all our priests and seminarians in our major seminaries will subscribe to Petrus and become its regular readers.
Bishop Matthew Cheriankunnel, PIME
