What’s going on at Cruz dos Milagres multi-crore project? After knowing it has completed first phase of the project i.e. Restoration of the Church We decided to go there to see ourselves and offcouse, to share with you too. When we stepped out, first thing I did was aiming at the church to take a pic. A man just stepped out of his car GA07E6398, stopped me saying no photography allowed (incidentally, the man and the car is also captured in the Pic) ‘ami Goemkar re’ said we ‘Tor kitem zalem?’ said he At this time one of us went over the top ‘I think we have a right to take pics and share amongst the others, we paid Rs.1000 each for this project which is forced upon us by the Church’ He would not change an inch We: Will speak to Fr. Erimito Rebello about this.. ‘He is no longer incharge now from April’ replied he (web search reveals Fr. Conceisao D’Silva is incharge now? Cordinator Fund Raising Committee) see III I said this incident may be reported to pres /Media ‘I am only obeying orders’ said he. Are there any such orders or he is just making it up? Don’t you think they should allow us knowing we are Goans and press/media related? Photography allowed at all Old Goa Churches, what so unique about this one? No, he is not non-Goan but Kristao Goemkar sort of typical ‘Letrad’ All Conversation was in Mother tongue The pic of the Renovated Church that we already clicked ..
