    Fr. Fred Mascarenhas is retired! Can't believe! I was seriously thinking he is somewhere in his late 40s. Anyways, I wish him a pleasant, peaceful and happy retired life.
    I never used to like him when I was studying in St. Philomena college due to his military rule! It was not only me the list was quite big. All of us had a very strong feeling that he doesn't like us and is aginst us! But I was proved wrong when I went for my sister's admission. He treated us very well and gave very valuable advice to me as well as my sister. I realised that he is an amazing human being having a true father's heart for his students. He wished his students nothing but good. I am sure all those who were in the list by now might have turned out to be his admirers or followers. Thank you Father.

    God Bless.
