The URL is http://www.basilicaofbomjesu.com Once on their main page click on 'Letter from the Pastor' located on the top right hand side. Regards, Robin Viegas, Dear Beloved in Jesus Christ, On the night of 20th October, 2004, there was a huge fire at our residence, the Casa Professa. The fire caused extensive damage to the second floor of our residence where we used to conduct retreats for the youth. It was divine providence that no life was lost, as a batch of students had made their retreat and had left the previous evening. The restoration work is in progress and is estimated to cost us upward of Indian Rupees Fifty Lakhs (INRs.5,000,000) I appeal to all of you to help us restore our residence. You could send your contributions by cheque or Demand Draft in favor of 'Rector - Bom Jesus Basilica' or 'Administrative Committee - Bom Jesus Basilica'. All contributons will be gratefully acknowledged. Please post(preferablly by registered post)to Rector, Basilica of Bom Jesus, Old Goa, Goa 403402. INDIA. Thank you and God Bless you. Fr. Savio Barreto Rector. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Give underprivileged students the materials they need to learn.
