The first death anniversary of Fr. PM Joseph was held at the Salesian College Cemetery, Dimapur, by celebrating the Holy Eucharist in the presence of eight of his relations, fathers, sisters, brothers, novices and faithful on 29 November 2019. The Holy Eucharist was presided over by Fr. Jose Kuruvachira, Provincial of Dimapur Province. In his homily he spoke of the late Fr. PM Joseph as a missionary, formator and guide, who tirelessly worked in the vineyard of the Lord. 

The relations travelled all the way from Kerala to participate in the first anniversary mass in honour of Fr. PM Joseph. The prayers at the cemetery concluded with the office of the dead in Malayalam presided over by Fr. KVGeorge SDB. May the soul of Fr. PM Joseph rest in peace.
