A life dedicated to the service of our lord Jesus Christ. Talented and the talents used for the betterment of our society. A great devotional music composer and what a wonderful tune! He was a blessing from heaven. Recent years priests like him are very rare and his music compositions give immense joy to the music listeners. Just like his face reflected the light of our lord Jesus Christ, his compositions of music are. What a wonderful creation! Losing such person is a great loss to the society. Despite a parish priest he handled responsibilities of many educational institutions to the extent of colleges. He was a gem in the society. We miss him in functions he used to attend. May his soul rest in eternal peace. May Our Lady of Miracles have mercy upon him and grant him eternal rest.

What a towering personality, handsome looks, and that immaculate smile – his very exterior appearance had that magnetic attraction – whether he was in the Holy Altar of God, may be in the classroom, pulpit, any public stage, Principal’s cabin or in his parish office - the dignity and decorum, neatness and accommodation to visitors, always graceful and divine…. Then, it will be an experience of different kind, once you meet him, it’s a pleasure to talk or converse with him. The way he makes you comfortable, with his most beautiful smile, incubate you to open up freely for the purpose you arrived….. He and We as students, a parishioners, a well wishers, a counsellor, a family friend… thousands have innumerable experiences to cherish, things and events… who has seen or come in contact with him, undoubtedly - influenced, encouraged, motivated… Though Fr Valerian served in many Churches and Colleges, both in the Diocese of Mangalore and Udupi, including my own home town Barkur, 2012 -17, he had an unique place for Milagrians – His 4 years as Assistant to Fr GL DCruz in 1980 to 83, during an all important time, the parish celebrating Tri-centenary of the Milagres Church, later as Lecturer, 1988 – 95, Vice Principal 1995-97, Principal of prestigious Milagres College 1997 – 2003, and now the Rector, Parish priest and Correspondent of Milagrian Educational Institutions…more than 2 decades rather a record 22 years he lived with Milagrians – undoubtedly the most fruitful years in his life…May his burial place be a site to find peace, solace to all of us…!! A intense life of the spirit of prayers, he was a reservoir of rare talents – a man of letters, musician, composer, professor of English language, administrator, a public speaker….and all he utilised to praise the glory of Lord, by way of hymns, sermons, teaching, preaching, distribution of Sacraments….His whole life to the extent we know is like that – holy and spotless….RIP Fr Valerian.

We are deeply saddens to know that Fr. Valerian Mendonca passed away. As mentioned in this DW article Fr. Mendonca has been a well respected name in the field of Education, Music, Oratory and more of a popular Catholic Priest. We were happy to have Fr. Valarian Mendonca to 'Raise Toast" on our wedding reception on May 3rd 1997 at Milagres tri-centinary hall, Kallianpur and on our daughter Miriam and Norah's First Holy Communion day at same hall in 2014. Recently during my visit to India I found him to be cheerful and active in his daily life. We ill miss you Rev. Father. We will remember you fondly. Thanks for your dedicated well acclaimed beautiful life...

Very sad news for all the people specially the OMZOORITES who knows Fr. Vally. I remember him as a humble, softspoken and loving person. A great choirist, champion in Accordion playing. I still have that lively picture of Fr. Charles Vaz and Fr. Valerian playing Accordion which many of the young generation may not have the chance to see it. Thank you Father for all the guidance you have given the young people (most of them are well settled now) when you were in OMZOOR. May you noble soul be given a special place in heaven. Rest in peace dear father.
