St. Anthony Church Siolim
A WARM WELCOME
It gives me immense joy to join you as your pastor leading this renowned Parish of St. Anthony, Siolim, along with my close collaborators, to greater spiritual heights. Hence, I greet all of you with fraternal love! In our times the immense gift that the Creator has bestowed upon us is none other than the privilege of communicating to one another at the pace of the “speed of light.” Within no seconds we are connected to each other in any remote part of the world and remain updated of all the news and happenings on account of the internet facilities. That is why the entire universe has been reduced to a“global village” and everyone experiences the closest of proximity when communicating with others who are miles and miles away from us. In this most challenging period of Covid-19

Our Profound Gratitude
The Late Mr. Sebastian Lazaro Florentino D’Cruz once wrote in one of his books, “ Just as all Goenkars have a taste for their rice and curry so also all Catholics love their village church. But my love to my church trancends far beyond this saying.” Following in the footsteps of his ancestors who had been working in our Siolim Church as Sacristians, he too dedicated 10 years of service as a Sacristian from 1945 to 1955.

Good morning & wish you a terrific Thursday! (Lk 11, 47-54)
Today again we have the narration of the Woes!
Jesus uses the worst language to condemn these sects of pharisees and Scribes. He calls them murderers and makes them responsible for the sin of their forefathers which has to be restituted
Whenever we are confronted with the truth we either try to dodge it or royally ignore it.
God's voice can come to us as naked truth through any messager. Are we able to discern this very voice and heed to it?
Otherwise, we will remain in the muck like the head of the ostrich in the clay.
Can we open our minds, hearts & guts to allow God's Word to sink in us and bring a change in our life?
