    Fr. Theophil was a true visionary and a social worker and a good friar who did good to all without discrimination. I truly admire his daring adventure and love for the Holy Trinity Province. May his soul rest in the everlasting peace.

    Father Theophilus has been a friend of our family for over 50 years. We loved his cheerful nature, his sense of humour and simplicity. We met him last less than a week before his demise. Rest in peace...

    Fr. Theophil Pereira, you were a man of God and a man for the people; an exemplary priest in you embodied the virtues of humility and sanctity. You are remembered in Ujire/Dayalbagh area as the one who gave bread for the hungry and shelter for the homeless. In Ambikanagar and Karaikal, Bhatkal of Karwar diocese you were an amazing grace, a loving Pastor. You are today remembered fondly as "Katnatkada Malla Gurkulu and Amcho Padryab". Intercede for us in heaven.
