Two young Friars die in a road accident.

On January the 4th this year, our fellow friars, Masin Digal and Liudas Parichha, from Delhi Province, died tragically in a car accident. They were visiting their families after a long separation due to the pandemic. On January the 4th, 2022, they were on a pilgrimage to the Marian shrine of Kandhamal with some of their family and friends, when the driver lost control of the vehicle and it plunged more than 20 metres. Brother Masin died instantly and Br Liudas before arriving at the hospital. In total, there were three dead and six seriously injured. The funeral of our Brothers took place the following afternoon, January the fifth.

Father General immediately expressed his sorrow and closeness to the Friars of the Province of Delhi and to the families of the deceased. «If we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord, so that alive or dead we belong to the Lord» (Rom 14:8). Our prayers go to our Confreres of the Province of Delhi and to the families.
