Members of Conference of Santa Isabel at a Meeting
The members of the Conference of Santa Isabel, SSVP, held their weekly meeting at the premises of C.C.P. (earlier, Municipality). They render services to the inmates of Recolhimento de Serra. Every Friday a Mass is celebrated for them in their chapel and on Wednesdays, along with the inmates, they pray the Rosary, share the Word of God and spend some time in fellowship with them. On first Sunday of the month they collect offerings from the people after each Mass. They believe in “Whatsoever you do to the least of the brothers and sisters, you do unto me.”
FOCUS Group visits IC
A group of 12 students from USA led by mentors, Seth Curry and Mary Skora, belonging to Fellowship Of Catholic University Students (FOCUS), visited Immaculate Conception Church and participated in the feast Mass of St. Anthony. They are seen here with the Parish Priest.
Make A Memory
Daphne Tellis and Susan Tellis from Vasco initiated a venture, start-up in Goa, under the name of “Make a Memory” whereby they make products like invitation cards, favour boxes, home-made chocolates, etc for sale. They opened a counter in the Church premises to display their products, as well as for sale. The parishioners appreciated their initiative and purchased their attractive goods. Daphne and Susan were kind enough to offer the proceeds from the sale to the Church, and sought God’s blessings on their enterprise.
Immaculate Mary
The most Blessed Virgin Mary was, from the first moment of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of almighty God and by virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ, Savior of the human race, preserved immune from all stain of original sin." (Pius IX, Ineffabilis Deus, 1854.)
