    I have very pleasant memories of St. Joseph's Church - popularly known as Jeppu Church. As a little boy I was an Alter Server at this Church. When I received my First Holy Communion I was taken to this Church and was entrusted to St. Joseph - my patron saint.

    It is at St. Joseph's that thousands of seminarians have had their grounding before being ordained as priests. I have known several rectors of St. Joseph the present one being Father Victor Machado who is as good as he is tall. Our Bishop Aloysius must be having nostalgic memories of this great Institution where he was installed as a rector before being consecrated as a Bishop.
