    Nice to know that Rev Fr Alban D'Souza has taken charge of our Attur St Lawrence Minor Basilica Church, Karkala. We are hopeful that he too will strive hard to maintain and, if needed upgrade, the Well Known Minor Basilica, just like Rev Fr George Thomas D'Souza, the former Rector, who handled the procedure in upgrading this Known Church to " A Minor Basilica " We all Wish him Well with Good Health and Happy Feelings, so that he will reap some more fruitful years there serving the people, specially organising the enormous crowds of ' Pilgrim People ' visiting this Church every year during the Feasts. MAY OUR GOOD LORD BLESS ALL OF THEM, including the Parish Officials !!!
