Inspired by a Book, Drawn to a Farewell – Fr Abraham Pallivathukal

The funeral ceremony of Fr. Abraham Pallivathukal, held at Christ Hall, Malaparamba, Kozhikode, on 21 June 2026, witnessed the participation of a large number of priests, religious, and faithful who had been touched by his life and ministry.

Among those present was a participant who had never met Fr. Abraham personally and had no direct contact with him during his lifetime. He came to know about Palliachen only through the book Njangade Swantham Palliachen, published by Kairos Media. Deeply moved by the inspiring accounts of Fr. Abraham’s life, spirituality, and service contained in the book, he felt compelled to attend the funeral and pay his final respects.

His presence at the funeral served as a testimony to the far-reaching impact of Fr. Abraham’s life and legacy. It also highlighted the role of the publication in introducing his inspiring story to people beyond his immediate circle, enabling them to develop a deep appreciation for his ministry even without having met him personally.
