Fr. James Mukalel

Hello and warm greetings! I am Fr. James Mukalel, a Catholic priest originally from Kerala, India. I was ordained to the priesthood in 1979, marking the beginning of a lifelong journey of faith and service.
My spiritual formation began at the MSFS Seminary in Ettumanoor, where I laid the foundations for my vocation. In 1988, I answered the call to serve abroad and migrated to Germany, where I ministered to the faithful for 37 blessed years. My time in Germany was rich with pastoral experiences, community building, and deep spiritual growth.
After decades of serving abroad, I have now returned to my beloved homeland of India, continuing my mission as a parish priest with renewed joy and gratitude.
I invite you to explore this website to learn more about my priestly journey, the people and places that have shaped my ministry, and the grace-filled moments that continue to inspire my vocation.
