    When St. Joseph's Engineering College appears in the news, my thoughts go back to Rev. Monsignor Fred Pereira who took a lot of interest in the project. Father Valerian D'Souza the pioneer of this venture and leader of the institute for a long and protracted period played an important role in the formative stages. Now, Father Jossy Lobo is playing an important role as the director and leader of the College. This young and energetic cleric is indeed a fine person and with his fund of knowledge and armed with his qualifications from U.S.A. he is all set to take the diocesan venture to greater heights.

    My good wishes are and will always be with St. Joseph's Engineering College and with the people who are called upon to guide its destiny.
