More about our incoming priest

Dear St. Oswald's family,

As an only child in the family, my parents dedicated me to serve God as a Priest in His vineyard even before I was born. Everything I did and said was towards that goal from my childhood.

After I got climatised in Australia with McDonalds management experience for almost seven years, God sent me back to Sri Lanka with bundles and bundles of experience with the youth and administration to serve Him in my own motherland.

After my fulltime four year training at Theological College of Lanka I entered my dreamworld, which was to serve God.

My experience was beyond words could explain and I completed 21 years in God’s service in 19 parishes since the day I was made a Deacon in 2004.

I am a simple servant of God who obeys His command and do my utmost best for the kingdom of God and to the parish I have been assigned to. 

Let's get together as one family and work together going in search of new horizons in His vineyard and also strive to bring more and more people into His fold.

Your humble servant,

Reverand Malinda de Mel    (Fr Mal)
