News written by: Fr. Lourdusamy Anthony Samy SDB
Fr. Hendry Selvaraj Dominic SDB defended his doctoral thesis on 13 July 2020 at the Pontifical Gregorian University, Rome. He was solemnly declared a Doctor in Church History by the academic panel of the Church History Department of the Gregorian University, soon after his public defense of the research he had undertaken entitled “The Contribution of Mgr. Louis Mathias SDB to the Catholic Church with Special Reference to the Formation of Indian Seminarians at Sacred Heart Seminary, Poonamalle, Tamil Nadu (1935-1965).”
The academic value of this work is measured quite high on account of the rich archival materials used in this research. The author has travelLed far and wide consulting more than 30 archives and 15 libraries. The relevance of this research gains added momentum as lots of questions are being raised in India regarding the formation of priests. For, this research through the deep insights and far reaching vision of Mgr. Louis Mathias, sets great example for all Bishops and Formators to take special care of the formation of their priests. We wish Fr. Hendry Selvaraj SDB God’s choicest blessings as he would be making use of his research skills and academic knowledge in the Historical Department of the Salesian Generalate.
