THE INDIAN PRIEST

Almost fifteen years ago, a Catholic priest from south India, Raphael Kurian, arrived in secular Sweden to do missionary work. Today, he is more popular than ever, and with a warm heart always available for those in need. Now, as Raphael plans the future in his Swedish parish, he is suddenly called back to India for a sabbatical. This unexpected news makes Raphael seriously concerned about the parish, in addition to the many worries about where his order will place him next.
