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 and wish you a wonderful Wednesday (Lk 27, 11-19)

This is the last journey of Jesus and as He passes by, ten lepers approach Him shouting to heal them. Leprosy was the worst of sickness because it was a symbol of sin which disfigured the image of God that is in each person. Jesus commands them to go to the priest, and as they went they were freed of leprosy. Only one, who was a Samaritan, returned with a grateful heart to render thanks to the Lord.

When we experience God's bountiful LOVE and receive His FAVOURS, do we thank Him enough for His goodness?

Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over.

For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.

Luke 6:38
