Fri, Aug 23 2013What an exemplary family. Out of a family of ten the parents gifted six sons to The Service of God and of course one sister too to serve The Lord. Obviously the family indeed must have been a pious family brought up well. Of the priests two Jesuits are closely known to me. Father Francis Serrao and Father Celestine Serra both Jesuits connected with Karnataka Jesuit Mission. Father Francis popularly know as Father Frankie has a great track record. He held different positions in The Society. As a rector of St. Aloysius College and other institutions he accomplished a lot. He was greatly responsible for the OUT REACH programmes. He indeed made inroads into Karnataka and spreading the WORD OF GOD and building institutions for the education of the poor and deprived. An amenable person of great qualities of heart and mind was was strict but kind. Presently as a Provincial of The Karnataka Jesuit Mission, He has contributed a lot for the up-lift of the poor. His latest project in Mundgod deserves all attention and support.
Father Celestine Serra S.J. is a quiet but efficient educationalist. His tenure as The Head Master of St. Aloysius High School derived him a great name as an educator of repute.
I did not have the privilege of knowing late Father Paschal Serrao but have heard excellent reports about him. He went far away to distant Varanasi to serve the poor and in that respect did a wonderful job deserving high praise.
I join scores of people in extending sympathies to Father Francis, Father Celestine and the others members of the bereaved Serrao family.
