Mangalore, Jul 29:  Fr Peter Noronha, retired Diocesan, inaugurated the rubber plantation at Our Lady of Mercy Church, Paneer, on Thursday July 28.

The church has about 5 acres of land with cashew trees and other trees.  In order to increase the parish burse, it was decided by the parish council to develop the land to foster a rubber plantation.

ZP member Satish Kumpala, Sr Sushila UFS,  TP member Clara Coelho, Paneer parish priest Fr Vincent D’Souza, parish council vice-president Michael Lobo, secretary  Saritha D’Souza, and rubber plantation committee convener Alwyn D’Souza were present on the occasion.

Earlier, Fr Noronha offered the Holy Mass along with Fr D’Souza at the church, which was attended by many parishioners.

Fr D’Souza presided over the programme. Alwyn D’Souza welcomed the gathering. Saritha D’Souza proposed the vote of thanks.  Evelyn D’Sa compered the programme.

The parishioners who own rubber plantations donated hundreds of rubber plants to be planted on the church land.  The revenues over the years will be accumulated in the parish burse and utilized for the welfare of parishioners.

    Good work by the Parish and priest and convineer. The name reminded me of my friend Petar Noronna at airpot in Dharan. How are you man?

    Since place is called Paneer, why not also sell Paneer for burse or aloo paneer? Just joking folks. Keep good humours.
