Agnelo) We left 11.30am for a short tour to Rachol Seminary, Church, cemetery, Pilar and Anjuna, back home at 7pm with two hour lunch break at a Rachol Restaurant. All these pics are taken today between the above hours. Sadly, we could not get inside the house at Anjuna as we were told the inmates of the house had gone out (Fr. Agnelo brother's (grand?)daughter- in-law and her son). Hope I got it right. Fr. Agnelo D'Souza was born in Anjuna Gaumvaddy in 1869 Died at Rachol Seminary on 20th November, 1927 He was buried there at Rachol Cemetery. see pic His mortal remains were transferred to Pilar in 1939 When Fr. Agnelo was buried, the priest who performed the final rites said 'I have just laid a Saint to rest' 'Saiba Sant Agnel, mhojea oslia patkeamchoi ugddas kor' Birth Place / House (Anjuna) http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk33/5189241325/sizes/l/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk33/5189240275/sizes/l/ Son of Gaumvaddi, Anjuna http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk33/5189839356/sizes/l/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk33/5189840882/sizes/l/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk33/5189241837/ Rachol Seminary Pulpit – Here Fr.
