I am privileged to serve India Catholic Association of America as President in 2016 and 2017, and now that I have the opportunity to serve the same association as Board of Trustee Chairman. I am grateful to all Board of Trustee members and committees for giving me this responsibility for this year. I promise here that I will try my best to serve our association in helping out the needy people. I am proud to congratulate the team of Committee lead by our young and energetic President Lijo John. They did the best of their ability last year to keep up all the traditional celebrations of India Catholic Association. I also congratulate all the new committee members to help the President.

We as group of Board of Trustees welcome any suggestions or constructive criticism to correct and improve the weakness of our association. It is not easy to make a huge difference in our association now, because we have all rites have their own churches and dioceses. When we had India Catholic Association as one umbrella organization for all rites, we had more member participation and it was a great event. Therefore, my suggestion is that we should try our best to attend all our events that this association host such as St. Thomas day, Christmas and Easter celebrations.

We the Board of Trustees and Committee members will work together and make a difference this year. Hoping and wishing you all a successful year ahead.
