โœ‰๏ธ A message from Fr Shiloโ€ฆ

Dear Members of Castor Benefice,

I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the generous gift of money you gave me on my departure from the Benefice. Your kindness, support, and encouragement meant a great deal to me, and I remain deeply thankful for the love and fellowship I experienced during my time among you.

I wanted to let you know how the gift has been used. During my visit to Kerala, I was able to use the money to help provide a roof over the head of someone in need. It was a privilege to be able to support this person in such a practical and meaningful way, and this was only possible because of your generosity.

I thought you would be pleased to know that your gift has made a real difference in someone's life, bringing security and hope to a family who needed it. In this way, your kindness has extended far beyond my own circumstances and become a blessing to others.

Thank you once again for your generosity, prayers, friendship, and support. I continue to remember the Benefice with affection and gratitude, and I pray God's blessings upon you all.

With warm regards and sincere thanks,

The Revd Shilo Varughese
