Vaikon in Kerala, young Dominic
became a professed member of the
Little Flower Congregation in 1953.
His Major Seminary formation and
theological studies were at Papal

congregation in various capacities
such as Vice Rector of the C.S.T.
Philosophical Seminary, Alwaye,

and Mission Superier in the CST
Mission of Punjab. He was also
Assistant Secretary, CBCI, New Delhi from 1978 to 1982. He holds
Diploma in Social Work from the Coady Institute, Canada. On October
4, 1984 he was ordained bishop
of the newly established Diocese of Gorakhpur and was installed its
first bishop on October 14, 1984.
His deep concern for the poor and
marginalized has been a guiding factor
for him to begin various apostolate
in the diocese by which the
downtrodden and neglected could find
their due place in the society.
Besides, being a great devotee of
St. Therese of Child Jesus and
having been impressed by the thrust
of his congregation, he founded in
1988 the Congregation of the Little
Sisters of St. Therese (LST). |
