Fr Richard Francis D’Souza

Congratulations to the Doctor in Sacred Scripture

Hearty congratulations to our friend and classmate Rev Fr Richard Francis D’Souza on successfully defending your doctoral thesis titled, “Yes Lord, I have Believed”, Martha’s Confession of Faith in the Fourth Gospel, A Narrative Critical Analysis, on Tuesday 30th June at the esteemed Pontifical Biblical Institute, Rome.  We are proud of your achievement as the first doctor in Sacred Scripture in the entire Karnataka. We wish you all the very best for your future mission of teaching as the professor of Sacred Scripture at the Pontifical Spirituality and Theology Institute, “Teresianum”, Rome. We were privileged to follow the live streaming of your doctoral defense on YouTube.  We are really inspired by your passion for the Word of God.  May the Lord Jesus inspire through you many more simple Christians like us to have special love for
His Lifegiving Word.

Best Wishes from
