The mortal remains of Fr Ampanattuvila are being taken in procession from Guwahati via Damra, Mendal and other places where friends and admirers will pay tributes to him.
The funeral service will be held at Tura on May 11, Friday at 02.00 pm.
May he rest in peace - the `good and faithful servant` who served with such dedication in the vineyard of the Lord.
