Requiem Mass of late Rev. Fr. Dominic Selosie
Priest, Nuns and the Laity of the Diocese of Kohima gave an emotional farewell to late Rev. Fr. Dominic Selosie, on 26th November 2022 at the St. Joseph Parish Church, Chumoukedima. Fr. Dominic Selosie breathed his last on 24.11.2022. The requiem mass in honour of the departed priest was celebrated by James Thoppil, Bishop of Kohima, with several Priests as concelebrants. Earlier on 24 November, grief stricken people of Lozaphuhu where he last served bid a tearful good bye to their humble shepherd before the mortal remain was moved to Lephory, and then to Chumoukedima. Born in the village of Lephory in 1979, late Rev. Fr. Dominic was ordained a Priest on January 7, 2013 and served in different Parishes. A Pochury tribesman true to his humble background, Fr. Dominic Selosie lived humble and saintly life, and his affable nature and simplicity endeared him to the people all through his priestly life, and was commonly known as ‘the people’s Priest’. Most of his Priest brethren spoken to describe him as humility personified. At the St. Joseph’s Parish Church, when the farewell hymn of “God be with you” harmonises, there were teary eyes all over.
