Mangalore: Parish priest of Neerude Fr Archibald Albuquerque passes away


Daijiworld Media Network - Mangalore
With Inputs from Fr Francis Rodrigues, Raknno

Mangalore, Aug 20: Fr Archibald J Albuquerque, parish priest of St Roque Church, Neerude passed away on Wednesday August 20 at around 4.30 am due to massive heart attack. He was 62.

Fr Archie, as he was fondly known, took over as parish priest of Neerude church in 2013. 

Born on August 15, 1953, Fr Archie was among the six children - four sons and two daughters - of Aloysius and Lily Albuquerque of Derebail. Fr Archie was a twin brother of Richard. Two of his twin sisters are Bethany nuns - Sr Immaculate who is working in Bathinda in Punjab; and Sr Marylytte working in Kulshekar. 

After having joined St Joseph’s Seminary, Mangalore and after his priestly studies, Fr Archie was ordained a priest of the diocese of Mangalore on April 22, 1981.

He served as assistant parish priest, Karkala town in 1981-'82, and of Bejai between 1982 and 1984.

He was the parish priest of Borimar (1984-1991), Basrur (1991-1997), Nirkan (1997-2004), Manjeshwar (2004-2005), Badyar (2005-2012), Nakre (2012-2013) and Neerude from 2013 up till now.

Fr Archie built the new church of Basrur as the earlier church was too small. He built a huge high school building at Nirkan church campus together with a hall in it. He also renovated the sacristy in Nirkan. He renovated the parochial house together with a mini hall in Badyar. He improved rubber cultivation and brought in income to the church. He built a portico in Borimar church. Presently he was doing the renovation work of Neerude parochial house.

Bishop of Mangalore Dr Aloysius Paul D’Souza and vicar general Msgr Denis Prabhu have condoled his death.

According to Msgr Denis Moras Prabhu, he was a priest with zeal and enthusiasm. Whenever he was appointed to different parishes he never asked that he should be sent to any particular parish only. ‘The service of the people is service of God’ was his philosophy.

According to Fr Xavier Pinto, a close friend of Fr Archie and the present rector of St Antony Shrine, Kerekatte Fr Archie was a simple priest with a simple way of life, committed to his work. He was a good company in the gathering of priests with lots of wit and humour. He was present for the shrine festival this June as well.

The funeral Mass will be celebrated at St Roque Church, Neerude at 10 am on Friday August 22 and the mortal remains will be interred at Neerude church cemetery.

    I feel the great loss of Fr. Archibald who was closely associated with Bethany and its founder. He has his twin sisters in Bethany. He had testified that as a child he was healed from a great infirmity with the blessings of Servant of God Raymond Mascarenhas, Bethany's Founder. He has mentioned it in one of his letters to the Bethany Sisters.
    I convey my deepest condolences to the members of the family.

    I still cannot believe at all that Fr. Archie is no more. I have been going to my Sunday ministry for St. Roque’s parish, Neerude, from the month of June this year and I was so content to be there. I used to feel that I am very lucky enough to get Fr. Archie as my Guide. He was so witty and humorous. I was fortunate to experience his tender heart, gentle speaking and more over his hospitality. He was so flexible to me. Regarding his administration, I can say He was very systematic because I had seen that he never missed to computerize the Sunday Announcements and put into the notice board. It’s very difficult to accept his death.
    O Lord, Grant him eternal rest. May his soul rest in Peace.
    I’ll be really missing you very much Fr. Archie in my Sunday ministry. Intercede for us!

    Through death God our only beloved Savior takes us to eternal life. When we are in this world, God wants us to love each other and all the things which He created. We should work sincerely and lead a good life through which we can prepare ourselves for our own death and thus we follow in the path of Jesus Christ who died for our sins.
