----- Original Message ----- HI THERE, THIS WAS SENT BY FR. PACHECO TO THE GOAN COMMUNITY I FULLY AGREE WITH HIS THOUGHTS AND DIRECTLY MY SERMON TOWARDS THE GOAN COMMUNITY REACHING OUT TO THE NEEDY IN GOA . GOD BLESS FR. AL. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2005 02:35 PM Subject: RE: Invitation to the St. Francis Xavier Feast from the Goan Institute Thanks for your invitation for the Feast of St. Francis Xavier. I have mass at 11.30 AM here in spanish and before that at 9.30 a.m. in English. I could try to come, but I have to call a priest to help me and pay his mileage which according the Diocesan norms is 50 dollars and plus 0.48 cents for every mile. It means around $125:00 for both the masses. And I do not know if I would get a priest at this last moment. I wish you success in your feast. But remember, it is feast of St. Francis Xavier. We need to carry his spirit in our lives and be motivated to carry out whatever he did to give Jesus to the World. I hope that the the Feast of St. Francis Xavier will motivate our Young boys to become priests. Or young girls to join the convent. You will be spending some money for the feast and for parties and dances. It would be nice to make a collection to help the poor Missions in India or in Kenya where many of Goans made their living and become quite well to do. Without this spirit, it will not be the Feast of St. Francis Xavier but the feast of our own bellies and social gathering. I wish you all the best. Please greet all our Goan brothers and sisters and convey them this message if you feel to do so. May God bless you through the intercession of St. Francis Xavier. Fr. Alex J.
