Thought for Christmas and New Year
Terence Kabalias
President of KCA
A few weeks ago, I read an article in a newspaper, which has
made me think deeply about the purpose, priorities and the
effects of the choices that affect our lives. The article
was about Sir. Alex Ferguson. Alex Ferguson is one of the
most successful managers in the English Football. He is the
manager of the Mancheste Football Club. As a club manager,
he has achieved everything, European success and success in
national level too. After a long period of service as a manager
of a famous club, he decided to retire from football career
at the end of this season.
Like many people at this point in their lives
he was reflecting on his life. In doing so he realised that
he missed out on the most important part of life, which was
being with his family and seeing his children grow up. He
now regrets that he lost part of his life and wishes that
he could turn the clock back and hope that he could have second
opportunity to choose family life before success and fame
in football. What I learnt from reading this personal account
of this man's life is that, the great impact that our choices
make on our lives and how important it is for all of us reach
that certain point in your lives content and not wish for
a clock to turn back.
Gratitude
Kerala Catholic Association is very proud
to present the third edition of Association's Magazine. Even
though it is a small magazine, in volume, it needed a lot
of hard work and commitment to achieve this kind of success.
First of all I am grateful to the chief editor Mr.Lazar Antony
for his time, enthusiasm and dedication for the creation of
the magazine. I am also thankful to all those have contributed
and especially the young ones who expressed such commitments
in making this magazine a success.

I wish to express my acknowledgement to everyone who worked
so hard for the success of the association, especially KCA's
former presidents secretaries, former treasures, committee
members, former and current trustees and also Mr.Angilose
Francis for his valuable time and contribution for the first
edition of the magazine and Mr.Damien Roberts for the second
publication. Without their hard work and dedication, we wouldn't
have achieved this success.
Last annual general meeting of the association
elected six sub-committee members, seven committee members
and six office bearers for the next three years. With their
help and all your support we have achieved an immense success
as we did in the past.
A big thanks to you, the members, for your
participation and sincere support.
Wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year.
