Fr Hilary Pereira SJ , A great Soul, an Institution by himself. Embodiment of Love , Affection and also perfection. Compassionate to all. I am reminded of Psalm 139:14, “I will give thanks to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well.” I thank God, God has wonderfully made him (Fr Hilary Pereira) . Let me quote from Hamlet: "What piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving, how express and admirable in action, how like an angel in apprehension, how like a god" This aptly applies to Fr Hilary Pereira I owe my position in society to Fr Hilary Pereira.

Father Hilary was an institution. He gave me admission to St. Germains in 1984 when we had just returned from Nigeria. School had started and we were late and only Father Hilary took a chance. He loved me a lot and would drop me to Quiz and Debate competitions because I would come late from home (had to catch 2 buses) and I was always late. He would give me a warning and then take me on his scooter to drop me to the venue so we could win St. Germains the cup. You can never forget your high school teachers and Father Hilary was an inspiration for all of us. God is lucky to have Father Hilary with him now.

Father Hilary gave me an opportunity in 1989 when everyone else gave up on me.With his discipline in the dorm I managed to pass with a distinction. I am here because of him. Grateful father.

Fr. Hilary was known as an efficient administrator & disciplinarian, at the same time a very kind hearted man. We were members of the St. Aloysius College Band during the 50's. He was playing the trumpet and I was playing the concert flute and clarionet. He was Eccle.Assistant of the Gentlemen's Sodality, Kodialbail. I can never forget his outstanding services as compeer for my wedding and the Portaphon function. We have lost a dedicated and devoted Jesuit who was loved & admired by all.
May his soul rest in peace.

With Fr. Hilary's death, we lost the most important link among 100s of cousins of the Pereira family.

I have fond memories of Fr. Hilary giving us surprise visits in Mumbai and entertaining us with his humorous anecdotes.

We miss you!

May your soul rest in peace!

I had stayed at St. Joseph's hostel during my 6 month stay in Bangalore when Fr. Hilary was the warden. It helped me a lot as I had limited budget for my studies before starting work. It was a good disciplined life with mass in the morning and opportunity to interact with others during breakfast, lunch and dinner in hostel cafeteria. May his soul rest in peace.

Fr. Hilary though being disciplined in his dealings with students and appearing to be so had a very kind heart on the inside. His dedication and devotion not only in taking St. Germain's to glorious heights as an outstanding educational institution but also on the sporting arena showed his passion for the all around development of a student. This is evident from the alumni that have pursued various professions and are contributing to society all around the world thanks to his mentorship and guidance. May your soul rest in peace Fr. Hilary knowing fully well that you did more for all of us than we can imagine.

I knew Fr.Hillary from the time I was in 4th Standard in the middle school at St.Aloysius, he had formed a beautiful children's choir (with the likes of Vivian Monis (now a Redemptorist,) his brother Lancy Monis and others)and taught hymns with Indian Music (Sanskrit) tunes like "Divya Lokada Pita Hamare ) (Our Father) Mojya Deva tum sorv Boro (Indian Tune ) and many others which I have never forgotten even after more than 50 years. Along with the late Fr.Stany Coelho and late Fr.Stany Vas, late Fr.Betram Sequira and late Fr.A.P.Menezes...I rate him as one of the great Jesuit Pastors of our times...a Musician, Singer, Sports enthusiast and always a friendly human being.

Ever since he was transferred to Bangalore, we at St.Aloysius really missed him very very much.

We are confident that he would certainly be now resting in the Heavenly Garden and specially pray to send down more and more Blessings from the Good Lord !!!

I remember Fr. Hilary Pereira above all, for his humanity. Although, I did not have many occasions to be with him, those few, in the eighties, were sufficient to leave a lasting impression in me a person of great warmth, kind, caring and dedicated Headmaster, and a sincere Priest. May Fr. Hilary Rest in Jesus and enjoy the Eternal Reward.
