Our Shepherd
Archbishop Francis Kalist, the beloved son of Mr. S. Kalist and Mrs. M. Mariammal, was born on November 23, 1957, in Ritapuram, a village in the Diocese of Kottar, Tamil Nadu. Raised in a devout Catholic family, he was deeply inspired by the Church from an early age. His journey of faith and education began with his primary schooling at a local elementary school in Ritapuram, where he laid the groundwork for both his spiritual and academic growth.
