Re: [Goanet] Re: Fr. Jorda and Loyola High School
Dear Fausto, Dear Dicky was Edward da Cruz not Edwin. Despite our innumerable altercations on mor than one campus we came to be very close dear friends. The last I met with him was when I, for the first time, brought down my wife Eva to India during monsoons 1974. We had a most pleasant dinner at the Taj in Bombay Such a premature death.

Jorda and Loyola High School Dear Eric Here follow some more details to add to my earlier posting on Fr. Jorda as the first principal of Loyola High School, Margão. Its earlier name St. Theotonio Union High School was derived from its founder´s patron saint, namely of Patriarch-Archbishop of Goa, D. Theotonio Vieira de Castro. St. Theotonio is my patron saint as well, celebrated in the Portuguese liturgical calendar on 18th Feb. The school was earlier known as Union High School, and was founded by Roque Santana Gracias in 1899. He was a landlord from Loutolim, and was educated in Bombay. He was held in high esteem by his teachers and students. He died in 1923. The school was acquired by the archdiocese in 1932, and was renamed St. Theotonio Union High School. It was affiliated to Bombay University in 1933. The foundation-stone of its present building was laid in 1935. The patriarch D. Jose da Costa Nunes, called the Jesuits to take over the school in 1944. Goa Mission of the Jesuits had then been functioning under Fr. João Augusto de Miranda, as its superior. The last non-Jesuit link of that school was Fr. Apolinario da Cruz Pinto. The Goa Jesuits did not have any experienced principal to take up the responsibility for the new venture and obtained Fr. Andrew Jorda S.J. on loan from the Bombay Province of the Jesuits. He was loaned for 1 year, but was requested to stay on for another half year. He was then recalled by the Bombay Province.

[Goanet] Re: Fr. Jorda and Loyola High School
Thank you, Teo, much appreciate. 'Last link' Rev. Apolinario Pinto was my father's first cousin, and he may be linked to the School's loss of it's accreditation: all 7000 of us will keep that a secret ! He was a Rachol aluno, but had acquired english at some stage, unlike other priests in the family. You have now resolved the Fr. Jorda mystery for me, i did wonder about the dictionary, things did not fit, but fall into place now - Fr. Claude was the likely 'ghost-writer ! Fr. Jorda was Sodality Director at St. Xaviers' in Bombay in the 20's and my father remembered as a kindly soul. Thank you, again.Eric.
