Outgoing Vicar leaves St. Joseph's Forane Church, Marika with nothing to desire for another decade

We live in an era, where we are concerned about the popularity of our leaders. Whereas most of the popular leaders are found in the political arena than among religious leaders, however, Rev. Fr. James Vararappilly is an exception to the law. He has been indeed a popular religious priest.

As the disciples preached the 'Experienced Christ' to the people, let me narrate the 'Experienced Fr. Vararappilly here. Being a catechism teacher, i could closely associate with him and had a rich experience of him.

Fr. Vararappilly is bestowed with great humour sense, people skills, welcomes everyone with a smile, and always lends his ears to listen to. After the principle of Pope Francis, Fr. Vararappilly is a priest for the unity among different Churches. As a result, he organized a combined carol programme at Marika and Vazhithala in collaboration with St. Thomas Jacobite Church and St. Antony's Knanaya Church.
