Fr. Julian Saldanha and Bp. Agnelo Gracious sitting on chairs on bottom right corner are the only one’s I could identify.
Instantly recognisable – a very young Fr (now Bishop) Agnelo Gracias. 1980? He would have been faculty by then? Lot’s of familiar faces, but I am bad at names.
Re the pic..Bp Agnelo seated extreme right
Bishop Agnelo, (Late) Bishop Ferdinand, Bishop Bosco, Fr. Austin Norris, Fr. Harry Vaz, Fr.Gilbert Delima (with the french beard), Fr.Francis Carvalho, Fr. Clifton Lobo (next to him) and Fr.Richard Crasto. I’m sorry I’m bad with the pointing the direction…but these are some faces I could recognise.
Thank you dear Priests for making this world a better place
Please tag this. Such a beautiful memory.
