While congratulating the DCSCM for completing this important yet tedious task, Cardinal Ferrão expressed his hope that “this directory may be an important step towards building a Communion of Communities in this Archdiocese, as we connect and journey together as Pilgrims of Hope.”
In his message, Auxiliary Bishop Most Rev Simiao Fernandes highlighted that “The Directory of the Archdiocese of Goa and Daman is a praiseworthy initiative by the Diocesan Centre for Social Communications Media.” He emphasised that “the directory is a valuable tool and powerful resource for Christ’s Faithful in our mission to be Messengers of the Good News, bringing hope to those in various situations of hopelessness. Furthermore, as we journey in synodality, it will definitely help us connect with Christ’s Faithful from diverse walks of life, engaged in varied ministries of service in the Archdiocese.”
The publication provides detailed information about the Church in Goa, including parishes in Goa and the distant Mission of Daman (which encompasses the Union Territories of Daman, Dadra and Nagar Haveli, and Diu), Institutes of the Religious (both Women and Men), Educational Institutions, Technical Schools, and various other services offered by the Archdiocese to society. New features are included in this edition of the Directory.
It will be available from next week at the Lighthouse in Margao, Pauline Book and Media Centres in Panjim and Mapusa, Jivitacho Sondex, Pastoral Institute in Old Goa, the Archbishop’s House in Altinho Panjim, and some parishes in Goa.
