Father Cyril Desbruslais sj
I was born in 1940, in Calcutta (India), joined the Jesuits in 1962 and was ordained in
1974. I am now residing at De Nobili College, Pune, near Bombay (or Mumbai), home of the largest Jesuit community in the world, today. I have been teaching Philosophy at the big Jesuit-run Seminary in Pune, Jnana Deepa Vidyapeeth, where degrees and diplomas in Philosophy and Theology are offered to lay people as well as priests-to-be, nuns and members of other religious orders.
I am also deeply involved in the youth ministry, particularly among boys and girls of the 16-25 age group (College-going and University students as well as young workers) of all religions (with Christians in the minority). I'm also very much involved in social action among oppressed and disadvantaged groups and motivate youth of all religions and cultures to work together for justice.
