The last rites are expected to be held on Sunday December 16 or Monday December 17. However, the exact date will be confirmed only after the completion of Vatican procedures which are under progress. Then on, it will take about 20 hours to bring the body to Mangalore.

A press statement in this regard from Bishop of Mangalore Dr Aloysius Paul D'Souza is expected on Thursday December 13.

    "Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is not mine" Archbishop Ambrose was a visitor at Mother Teresa Church of Paldane, with his brother priest and his two sisters (nuns). When we had gone for the weekly choir practice, we saw a Mass was going on. When the Mass was over, all came out, we kissed Archbishop Ambrose's finger ring. Then he told us that he is the Archbishop of Ivory Coast. Again when I went to Infant Jesus Church, on a Thursday, 6 pm Konkani Mass, it was celebrated by Archbishop Ambrose, and at the end of the mass he released "Novena Booklet of Mother Teresa" A nice homily was also given by the Archbishop. Today, the news that he is no more! O Lord give him eternal rest and console his family members.
