It was unfortunate that democracy, deliberations and discussion was not the order of the day today at Ribandar. As expected the meeting of Ribandar Parishioner's which was scheduled to be attended by Archbishop's representative Fr Luciano Fernandes was cancelled.
Fr. Newton Rodrigues announced this at today's Sunday masses without giving any reason as to why the meeting was suddenly cancelled. The parishioners were only told that a new date would be intimated. The cancellation of the meeting came as no suprise. Infact many had anticipated it. The facts of the irregularities at the Ribandar Parish are to revealing for the Church to digest. It is now clear that by canceling this much awaited meeting the Bishop's palace will only further escalate the Ribandar Church crisis. Aires Rodrigues Ribandar
