Father Thainese Alphonse was ordained a priest on March 27, 1985, for the Diocese of Cuddapah in India. He developed a strong passion for the writing apostolate, focusing entirely on matters related to the practice of the Catholic faith. All ten of his books written in Telugu were well received by Telugu-speaking Catholics.
He completed his doctoral research in theology on Building a Local Church with the Participation of the Laity, later publishing it under the title Participatory Communion. In 2023, a simplified Telugu version was also released with the title Is the Participatory Church a Spy in the Sky?
At present, he is serving in the Diocese of Lafayette, Louisiana, USA. His Sunday sermons from three liturgical years have been compiled into three books under the title Pulpit to Pews. He is happy to reach out to all of you through his blog: www.thaisprings.info
