This document was put together by Joseph Bosco, a devout Catholic who is based out of Abu Dhabi and raised in a Salesian background. His faith today is a result of his upbringing and passionate research about the theology of the Catholic Church. His goal is to live his faith as an example for others. This is his motivation to take an active part in his parish community as well. He’s married and completed his engineering education and now works for Siemens. .
Congratulations dear. We are proud of you for taking active participation in your parish community. With lots of love, your chithappa, David.
