MORE CHANGES TO THE d’ESTOUTEVILLE LINE
Within two days the d’Estouteville line
lost two members. On 30 March 2022, Bishop Mathew Cheriankunnel, P.I.M.E.,
emeritus of Kurnool, passed away and on 1 April 2022, Bishop Innayya Chinna
Addagatla, emeritus of Srikakulam died. There was an interesting connection
between these two bishops. Bishop Cheriankunnel was the first bishop of the Diocese
of Nalgonda and Bishop Addagatla was Nalgonda’s second bishop. May they rest in
peace.
Their deaths reduce the number of living
members of the d’Estouteville line to thirty-nine.
