Tony (Pe. Thomas Aquino) To: Dear friends and well-wishers, This is in regard to a dedicated priest who became dear to everyone who came in contact with him. Rev. Fr. Thomas Sequeira was a friend to all, old and young alike,irrespective of color or creed. He was known in the US, Goa, Mumbai,Delhi, Portugal and Rome and wasalso fondly called Padre Tomas d’Aquino or even Fr. Tony. Fr. Tomas d’Aquino was avery dynamic and talented priest with muchcharisma. He was a scripture scholar and a church historian belonging to thediocese of Goa, India. Atpresent, he was on a studymission working on a Doctoratein Theology, at Berkeley, United States while helping in St. Bernard’s CatholicChurch, Tracy California since August 2012. However, in July 2013 he was diagnosed with an advanced stage of coloncancer. He immediately underwentan emergency operation and then had to face an agonizing battle for life which he did with a lot of cheer and total resignation to the Lord. Toadd to it, he had to bear thesad news of the death of his 92year old mother on August 18, 2013. On September 09, 2013 at around 1:20 pm local time, the end embraced him and he left us literally with a warm smile on his face that sent shivers of sadnessall over the world to each and every who knew him. During thetwo months of his sickness, Msgr. Ivo Rocha and Sr. Cecelia D’Mello of StBernard’s Catholic Church, Tracy, California looked after all of his physical andspiritual needs; to whom weextend our warm and sincere gratitude. Our sincere thanks also goes to theparishioners that includesdoctors, nurses, therapists, etc. for extending their support by cheering himwith their around the clockvisits in shifts to assure Fr. Tony was never alone, and their constant prayer services. As atribute of our love for Fr. Tomas d’Aquino and gratitude to Msgr. Ivo and Sr.Cecelia and the congregation of Tracy for handling his care with extreme dedication, some of Fr. Tomas’friends and well wishers, have sent contributions with an intention to easesome of the unforeseen financialburden that have cropped up during this brief period. In thisrespect, we appeal to the well-wishers and friends of Fr. Thomas d’Aquino tokindly contribute freely and voluntarily to help with the expenses oftransporting his body back to Goa to beburied as per his wishes. Contributions/donations may be made as follows: Acheck made out to Sr. CeciliaD’ Mello should be mailed to: Maria Carvalho, 14708 Day Break Drive, LUTZ,FL 33559.Please make surethat you write in the memo line “For Fr.

IvoRocha, Sr. Cecelia D’Mello and the Catholic Congregation of Tracy. If youknow of Fr. Thomas Sequeira’s friends or acquaintances, please forward thisemail. Anyamount collected in excess of thefuneral/travel expences will be handed over to Msgr. Ivo Rocha in thename of Fr. Thomas for his various communityprojects at St. Bernard’s Church. Msgr.
