Demise of Bro. Ajin Moolakunnel RCJ

He was born in Asankavala (Kannur, Kerala, India), on March 27, 1996. He entered the Congregation in Aimury on June 10, 2012; entered the Novitiate on May 17, 2016 in Meenangady. He made his first profession in Aluva on May 16, 2017. The Lord unexpectedly called him to himself when he was still in his second year of philosophy at the Pontifical Institute of Aluva. Bro. Ajin was a sociable, intelligent and wise young man, enthusiastic and committed, meek and kind, for whom he was well liked and was esteemed and appreciated, both in the community and in the Philosophical Institute. He was faithful to the choices of the consecrated life and cared for the spiritual life. During the second year of philosophy he was instructed to dedicate some time to the farm as well and he carried out this commitment with accuracy. He proved to be in good health and attended sports without any particular problems. However, on the morning of February 14, 2019, immediately after breakfast, he had a sudden cardiovascular collapse. He was rushed to the hospital, where a team of experienced doctors did everything to save him, but failed to prevent his death from cardiac arrest. Br. Ajin left a great void in the Studentate, in the Circumscription and among his family members. He will not fail to continue to be close to us from Heaven.
