One year memorial service of respected Kiwi-Indian businessman and Papal Medal receiver Wenceslaus Anthony has been confirmed to be held on July 23 at Chennai's Loyola College.
His wife Susan, daughter Sneha and brother Akash Anthony have invited community members and his friends to join them in prayers for Wency (as he was called lovingly) in Chennai, India.
Mr Anthony passed away after multiple organ failures on Sunday, July 23, 2017 at Apollo Hospital in Chennai while on a business and holiday trip away from New Zealand.

Mr Anthony was an ardent community worker and the chairman of the Mother Teresa Interfaith Committee. He established the Mother Teresa Interfaith Committee in 2010, on the 100th birth anniversary of Saint Teresa which led it to become an annual event in the community’s calendar.
Mr Anthony was a former co-chair of the India New Zealand Business Council (INZBC) and had accompanied former Prime Minister John Key twice on his official visit to India.
