He was a very holy and spiritual man. He was kind, loving and a passion to proclaim the Good News. I never ever saw the angry side of him. As a boarder at Xavier College I could see him as a lover of books , every evening he would be walking and reading. I was so fortunate to have Fr. Batchelor as one of the celebrants at my wedding. May He rest in peace, truly he was a living Saint to those who knew him. Always cheerful and smiling.<br />Lawrence B Sharma-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501239684776771639.post-47796873128686086472016-06-03T12:29:29.354+01:002016-06-03T12:29:29.354+01:00Father Vincent Batchelor.

He would frequently come home and who can forget him driving the same orange-coloured car over the years? I've just learnt from this blog that he sold it in order to provide financial assistance to victims of a cyclone. What a gentle soul! He would always be invited and attend multi-denominational weddings and functions, forever smiling. A Mahatma!
