Sad newsfor Udupi again, first they transfered the Asst. priest who was young and doing a good job, and now the parish priest who was the best since the diocese was formed why is this treatment cant understand ofcourse catherdal needs a able head, hope some one with complication is not dumped in Udupi again or during tranfers we in udupi would like to have some one good like Fr. Vally, wish him the very best, wherever he goes he will do good, udupi which was a gossip center was turned into a worship center hope that continues.
