George Nedungatt (21 December 1932 – 26 October 2022) was an Indian Jesuit priest of Syro-Malabar Catholic Church, and expert in Oriental Canon Law.[1]
Nedungatt was born at Peringuzha near Muvattupuzha in India, as the second son of Mr Kunjupappa and Mrs Mariam. He had three brothers. The Nedungatt family had many priestly and religious vocations. The late Mgr Mathew Nedungatt, Syncellus of Thiruvalla and later of Battery eparchies, was his paternal uncle; the late Sr Catherine SIC was his aunt; Fr Johny Nedungatt SDB is his nephew. Among his cousins Nedungatt are Fr Vincent and the late Fr Mathew CMI, and the two late Jesuits (Br Varghese and Fr Joseph). Fr Sanal Jose Nedungatt of the eparchy of Kothamangalam is the son of a nephew of Fr George. The Marian Sodality in his parish (Kalloorkad, the present-day Kothamangalam eparchy) was organised by him which he equipped with a library.
