LONG-TIME GOANETTER and editor of the Goa Catholic Church fortnightly Renewal (Novsornni/Renovacao) Fr Francisco Xavier Jose CALDEIRA (b 1947) died after a brief illness. An obituary in the magazine he edited said he had stints at Saligao Seminary (1971), Carmona (1977), Diocesan Family Service Centre (1979-83), Fontainhas (1975), Pastoral Institute (2001), Diocesan Commission of the Liturgy (2001), Priestly Meetings Committee (2001), Commission for Liturgy (2003-6), Social Communication Media (2008), Sao Tome, Goa Mission Congress (2008), and Year of Mercy (2015), besides being editor of Renewal since 2013. The tribute commented: "He and hsi younger brother Fr Cristovam Caldeira, who also passed away in 2011, were the only sons of their parents and both became priests. A great example (we have a few more among our diocesan priests) to the modern generation who are so reluctant to send their boys to seminary." * GOA ARCHBISHOP Filipe Neri Ferrao's public engagements for December 2016 list a pastoral visit to the Goan communities in Bahrain and Kuwait from Dec 4 to 12.
