GUIDING LIGHT AND VISIONARY LEADERSHIP REMEMBERED

Rt.Rev.Dr. Peter Bernard Pereira, was born on 21st June 1917 in an ancient and noble catholic family (Kottarkari) in Murukkunpuzha in the northern part of the Trivandrum District.

He was ordained as a priest on 24th March 1944. The late Bishop served the Trivandrum dioceses with a selfless dedicated spirit. He was born leader, and able administrator, and above all a disciplinarian.

In the social field, he achieved a lot for the upliftment of the poor and down- trodden. The Trivandrun Social Society started by his was a new field of enterprise at that time in this respect.
