The Parishes of St. Bernard and St. Martin are pleased to welcome Father Jaison Kuzhiyil as our Administrator, effective at Noon CDT on June 25, 2025. We look forward to getting to know you and worship with you. Here is a letter that Father Jaison sent to the parishes a few weeks ago upon learning of his new assignment:
Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Fr. Jaison, I’m originally from India but served as a priest in Australia for the last 14 years. My family includes my parents and two sisters. I was ordained a priest in 2004 in India and served in India for six years before taking up my assignment in Australia.
I am from the South Indian state named Kerala. Catholicism in this state can be traced back to first century. I worked across many parishes in the diocese of Broken-Bay and in the Archdiocese of Hobart, Tasmania, Australia. I came to the U.S. in April 2024 and I have been serving as an associate at St. Joseph Parish Jasper. My biggest challenge in the U.S. was to get my driver’s license here, driving on the ‘wrong side’ of the road.
I do have some hobbies which include a special interest in growing vegetable gardens and going fishing. I am looking forward to getting to know you all and becoming a part of your parish family.
