He was admitted to the Congregation on 1st January, 1921, made his irst profession on 20 January, 1922 and the inal profession on 4th October 1927. Whether in religious houses or in the villages, Bro. Chrysostom found ample scope for the corporal or spiritual works of mercy. His labour was very fruitful in the missions particularly at Khandwa, Zaroli and Bhilad. By his tireless and persuasive ways, he was instrumental in bringing many to the knowledge and love of God in the missions. As one of the General Councillors, after the irst General Chapter, he earnestly endeavoured to strengthen the religious discipline and the spiritual life of the Congregation.
