Dr. Edwin Xavier

Dr. Edwin Xavier joined the Exam Cell of our College in the academic year
2016-17. A pious and soft-spoken gentleman in every aspect, he executed the
administrative duties entrusted to him in the best possible way. His expertise
as a former principal of St. Paul’s College, Kalamassery was much beneficial
in updating the procedural formalities in the regular activities of the Exam
Cell. Dr. Edwin was a visiting faculty in the Kalamaserry Minor Seminary and
Carmelgiri Pontifical Seminary where he taught theology to the seminarians.
It was under his leadership as the Pastoral Council Secretary of St. Philomina’s
Church, Koonammavu, that the Museum of St. Kuriakose Elias Chavara was
initiated and executed. He always shared his deep reverence and knowledge
about religious scripts with us. Dr. Edwin used to share with us many humorous
instances he witnessed during his tenure as the Principal, during which we
found his laughter would go beyond limits. He had a loving family of a son, a
daughter and his wife, Smt. Celia, who was a teacher, and a pious and humble
person who was ‘totally very supportive in all his endeavors’, as quoted by him.
Dr. Edwin Xavier left for the heavenly abode on 11th September 2021 at the age
of 61. With his departure we lost a friend, guide, and philosopher. To us, his
name will forever be the key that unlocks the memory of a dear one gone but
cherished; a beloved face we will never forget.
