Bishop Alex Dias to officiate at 2009 Calangute Social The Calangute Association of Canada will celebrate the annual feast of their Patron – St Alex – followed by the Social on July 19th. At the Holy Mass, the main celebrant and chief guest will be Most Reverend Alex Dias, SFX, Bishop of Port Blair (Son of Calangute who is specially traveling all the way from India). Rev. Alex Dias is the First Bishop of Port Blair, Andamns, India and belongs to Pilar Society, Goa. This year, Bishop Dias is celebrating the Silver Jubilee (25 Years) of his Episcopal Consecration. We are inviting all the Members of the GOA Toronto, West-End Seniors Association, Toronto East Goan Seniors Association, Can-Orient Seniors Association & St. Francis Xavier Seniors Club to attend the Social and to meet and greet the Goan Bishop Alex Dias. Bishop Alex Dias visited Toronto in July 2005, soon after the Tsunami in Andamans Islands. Goans were amazed and impressed at his simplicity, gentleness and humility, despite his knowledge and education (he speaks 7 languages, German, Italian, Portuguese,Konkanni, Hindi etc). The collection of the Mass, donations and the profit's of this year's social will go to Bishop Alex Dias, Diocese of Andaman's & Nicobar Islands.The people in the Andaman Islands are also children of God and therefore our brothers and sisters. We need some help from all the Associations to help raise some funds and also give some publicity .See the attached flyer. Click for Flyer. Bishop Dias is truly a man of God and merits our help. Best wishes. Antonio Mascarenhas President Calangute Association, Canada
