After completing his priestly studies at St. Pius College, Goregaon, Peter was ordained deacon on April 17, 2005, and took up his diaconate ministry at O. L. Help of Christians Church, Mannurpet, helping out in pastoral ministry, especially in the running of the SCC groups. He also assisted Fr. M. I. Raj in vocations work within the city of Chennai itself.

With his seminary formation behind him, deacon Peter was ordained to the priesthood in Nov. 2005 as the first priest to be ordained in the newly erected Kristu Jyoti Province of India. After this he served as Assistant at O. L. Help of Christians, Mannurpet. During this time, he was also the full-time Vocations Director moving extensively over the length and breadth of the country on the lookout for suitable vocations. His painstaking labours are beginning to bear fruit and our formation houses are filling up. He is also currently working at his MA.

At present, Fr. Peter looks after the Collegians and Postulants housed at Velappan Chavady.
