The ‘Cycling Jesuit’ of Kerala is all set to hitch up his cassock to pedal for a new mission across the State. What is on cards is a yearlong ‘Cycle Yagna’ from this 40-year-old priest to make children aware of the threat of substance abuse and drug trafficking. For Fr. Sheise Thomas’s new mission, there is the moral support of social activist Daya Bai, who will launch the ‘yagna’ in Kozhikode on September 24 .
As an emerging playwright and trained performer, the plan of Fr. Thomas is to cover 50,000 students in Kerala with his message against substance abuse. Over 500 schools will be covered during the solo campaign, claimed to be the first of such initiative from a priest.
