Mangalore, Jul 28: After successfully completing three years of the Inter-Parish Wilfy Rebimbus Konkani Singing Competition in memory of Konkani legend Wilfy Rebimbus, Jeppu parishioners are once again back this year with the fourth edition of the competition.

The competition is organised by Jeppu parishioners every year in memory of Konkani singing legend Wilfy Rebimbus, who was born and brought up in Jeppu and also contributed his services in a significant way to the parish and the entire Konkani speaking community spread across the globe.

The competition will take place in two phases. The first phase (semi-final) which will take place on October 26 at 3.30 pm in Maria Jyanti Mandir, Jeppu, and the grand finale which will take place on November 16 at 6 pm in Jeppu Church open grounds.

"This competition has two-fold purposes," says Fr Nelson D’Almedia, parish priest of Jeppu. "First, to pay homage and revere the memory of Konkani legend the late Wifly Rembimbus. Secondly, to foster Konkani language and recognize the talents of the budding Konkani singers."

This competition also has a noble cause. The donations and contributions received from the programme are being utilized for the welfare of Jeppu parishioners. There is a fund under the banner 'Jeppu Parish Welfare Fund', through which the educational, medical and other needs of needy families are met. So far, Rs 2,83,000 has been spent for the various needs of the parishioners.

Every year around a thousand Wilfy fans have been witnessing this unique competition. Speaking to daijiworld, parish priest Fr Nelson D’Almedia has appealed to all Wilfy fans to come forward and be a part of this celebration as an honour to the great singing legend, who throughout his life contributed his talent to good causes in society.

Daijiworld is the official media partner for this event.
