Jesuit priest stabbed in residence, hospitalized in Nepal
31-07-2009
KATMANDU, Nepal (CNS) -- An Indian Catholic priest working at a home for poor students in Nepal was injured in an attack in his residence. Jesuit Father Sanjay Ekka, pastor of St. Ignatius Loyola Parish, sustained injuries to his head, hand and hip in the July 27 attack, reported the Asian church news agency UCA News.
He was taken for treatment to Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital in the capital, Katmandu. The priest was in stable condition July 29, according to Father Lawrence Maniyar, the Jesuit superior in Nepal.
"Though the details are sketchy at the moment, we believe boys of the hostel we run in Baniyatar were involved in the attack," Father Maniyar said. The Jesuits run Loyola Students Home, for poor boys, and Laligurans, a day-care center for small children, in Baniyatar in the northern part of the city.
