    Nice to see many nuns and preiests from Milargres. We are very much thankful to Valencia Parish, who has started such programmes years back and now all other parishes are following it.

    Milagris Church is very much in the news. Indeed The Centenary Celebrations are taking place in different forms. I am happy to see that under the leadership of Father Walter D'Mello ably supported by Alwyn Rasario different events are taking place. To honour our priests and nuns from Milagris Parish is an unique idea and the organizers have done a great job.

    It is good to see two more Priests from our Parish have dedicated their lives for the service of God.

    I join scores of people in congratulating our Priests and nuns of Milagris Parish.

    This is a nice gesture on the part of Milagres Parish to honour the priests and nuns from the parish that have dedicated themselves towards the religious order. I wish the Valencia Parish also comes up with similar recognition because it is a good time to recognize and honour Mnsgr.Fred Pereira who was the first priest from our Parish, and he is currently relaxing at Vamanjoor.

    Millions of priests and nuns in this world are dedicating so much with so many sacrifices and dedications in their lives towards so many humanitarian and religious causes. Priests and nuns as human beings also go thru their own challenges and trials in their life and we need to pray for them in a special way.
