Dear Fr. Rasika and Fr. Sasika

On behalf of the Minor Seminary community, I extend to you a warm and heartfelt welcome. We are truly grateful that you, as priests and professors at Kandy National Seminary, have joined us and will share your knowledge, guidance, and pastoral presence with our community.

Your service is a gift to our formation, and we trust that through your teaching and example, our seminarians will grow deeper in faith, strengthen their prayer life, and develop a greater love for the Church and for the mission to which they are called.

We pray that the Lord will bless your ministry, keep you joyful and steadfast, and grant you wisdom, peace, and renewed strength in every responsibility you undertake.

Welcome, dear Fathers.
May your time with us be fruitful and filled with God’s grace.
