LADIN IN KUWAIT. In Kuwait there is one well known Choir in the Holy Family Cathedral – The main Catholic Church at Kuwait City. It was formed by Mr Albino Fernandes who is deeply involved in Church affairs and other social work. He is very much known in the community. In order to promote the Church activities he inducted many Goans in his Choir and thereby gave identity to many of the unknown souls. As a great lover of Konkani and Goa Albino introduced Konkani Hyms too for the English Mass and by listening to these Hyms it really looks great and brings back nostalgic feelings. Recently according to my information Albino the founder of this Choir – Holy Family Choir – has withdrawn from this Choir and totally detached from all its activities. It is very surprising to know this and more so because how Albino was allowed to dissociate himself from this Choir by the very people whom he did so much. As per one source, Albino was dissatisfied with the politics of defamation carried out on Internet by one of his own colleagues. If this is true then the discipline of the Church Circle is upset. The very people who should give good example of their good deeds are creating disorder by taking advantage of Church premises. May be because of such anti-Catholic incidents Catholics are getting fed-up of our Church people and embracing other denominations in bigger and bigger number. For so long Albino Fernandes was synonym with this Choir doing so many activities for the good cause and also promoting his colleagues. Sometime back by organising a cultural event Albino’s group collected some funds and donated one lakh of rupees to Mother Theresa’s Mission in Calcutta. In this way Albino and his group organize lot of activities. Albino Fernandes on Friday 31st of this Month in tune with Goan tradition will organize in the Church Compound in front of Grotto of Our Lady Goan style Laudainha. It will be held at 7.00 after the evening Mass and will be sung in Latin with the accompaniment of Violin which will be played by a young Goan boy. This is oranised to mark the “Day of Mary” to spread the devotion of Mother Mary. In maintaining with Goan tradition “Ukoddlole Chonne” will be served to give a real Goan touch. Ladin singers and others are expected to join in good number.
