Father Stanislaus Kurusumuthu was born in Vakari, Eastern Province,
Sri Lanka on December 6, 1939. He recieved his early education in Catholic schools
in Sri Lanka. At the Urban University in Rome, Italy, he was ordained April,
1969, after having attended Our Lady of Lanka Seminary in Kandy, Central Province.
Continuing his education and ministry in Canada, he recieved his B.A. and B.Ed
degrees from Queen's University, and subsequently attained his principal's qualifications.
Father Stan pursued his love of education and demonstrated his love of youth
through his teaching career at Holy Cross and Regiopolis Notre Dame from 1986
to the time of his death on April 5, 2001.
While he served the youth of our Catholic schools, he also served his God, and
his community through various assignments in local parishs as well as parishs
in Sri Lanka. Most recently Fr. Stan was associated with St. Barnaby's Church;
prior to his assignment there, he was an administrator at St. Patrick;s, Landsdowne,
an associate pastor at St. Peter's, Trenton and St. Michael's, Belleville.
Fr. Stan always had a story to tell: God blessed him with humour and vitality.
He had a gift for reaching out to those sometimes on the fringes, and he won
everyone over with his endless teasing and generosity. As on student commented:
"Father Stan was never too busy to chat it up or even hook it up with anyone."
Another student fondly remarked: "The little man with the twinkle in his
eyes is definatly going 'upstairs'".
"He was the life of the hallways at RND. Father Stan was
loved by everyone here."
