357TH BIRTH ANNIVERSARY OF BLESSED VAZ ON APRIL 21 If one were on the Holy Father's words in 1995 to rely,
When he called Fr Jose Vaz "a star shining in the Asian sky", Then he should have been canonised ans become a saint long ago. But since this honour on him the Vatican has yet to bestow, One wonders why the delay - it really makes you want to cry. - Shanti Dhoot RE: Date: Tue, 22 Apr 2008 From: George Pinto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: April 21, 357th birth anniversary of Blessed Vaz.
