DEACON ROYSTON DEPARTS

After a very fruitful stint of pastoral work at Quepem, Deacon Royston leaves us for his spiritual retreat in preparation for his priestly ordination. 

During his month-long stay with us, he endeared himself to one and all with his winning ways and dedication to duty. His ambition is to become a Konkani pundit in the near future. 

Don Bosco Quepem congratulates him and wishes him a happy and fulfilling priestly ministry in the Lord's vineyard.

PIGS' POUND OF FLESH

Our little piglets which were being reared near the school building had been raising quite a stench around the campus. It was finally decided to shift them to more comfortable quarters at Kangal farm. 

In the confusion that ensued during transportation, the resentful mother pigs almost took a chunk out of Fr. George's shoulder and Anthony's thigh. 

Thankfully, it was a bloodless coup!
