Arch Kansas City in KansasWe are heartbroken by the tragic passing of Fr. Arul Carasala, pastor of Saints Peter and Paul Parish in Seneca. Fr. Arul was a faithful priest who devoutly served our archdiocese for more than two decades. Ordained in March 1994 in his home Diocese of Cuddapah, India, he ministered at Sts. Peter and Paul for nearly 14 years and also served as dean of the Nemaha-Marshall deanery. His deep faith, pastoral care, and generous spirit touched the lives of so many.
We recognize that this news is difficult and shocking for our community. Please know that, according to the Seneca Police Department, there is no ongoing threat.
A Rosary will be prayed for Fr. Arul tonight at 6 PM at Sts. Peter and Paul Parish, followed by a 7:30 PM Mass celebrated by Archbishop Naumann. All are welcome to come together in prayer.
Let us entrust Fr. Arul to God’s mercy and lift up in prayer his family, parishioners, friends, and brother priests. May we also pray for the conversion of heart for the perpetrator.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.
