    Congratulations Dear Very Rev Fr. Vincent D'souza. I remember Rev Fr Vincent the day he arrieved at Mudarangadi in May 1994. Wherever he goes his vision is very clear to bring the poor as well as different caste people into one umbrella of the society and give them a love and affection. He started english medium school, Lions Club and he is Special Invitee for Ganesh utsava till today at Mudaragadi. When you were in Alangar, You build the houses for poor people. We need Priest like Rev Fr. Vincent D'souza to built communal harmony in the people as he built at Mudarangadee and Alangar. Even now people of Mudarangady visit Bela parish irrespective of caste. Even after 2 decades he still recognise the parishers by their name. Fr. Vincent is a priest, who collected a good amount of money for a poor hindu family whose died due to accident with in a span of 6 hours. Wish u all the success dear Father where ever u go ..
