    What a beautiful feeling to know that the Divine Mercy Church will be erected at Fatima Retreat House in our beloved neighbourhood.

    We read that Fr. Ronnie Prabhu will be the outgoing Director. This is something new for us to learn. Fr.Ronnie Prabhu will shine wherever he goes because of his exemplary leadership skills. We wish Fr. Eugene Lobo best of success in all his future plans. We are proud to see Fr. Santosh Ravi Kamath's name in bold letters on the marble slab and is a deserving spiritual personality of Mangalore, the "Rome of the East". Fr. Santosh's dynamic leadership will remain luminous throughout the City of Jeppoo for hundred years and more. Rev Fr. Rashquinha, SJ has always been a pillar of guidance in our neighbourhood while His Lordship, Bishop Aloysius has always been a magnanimous and strong Guiding Light for the Dioacese of Mangalore. May God bless them all.

    Church of Divine Mercy will be an added attraction for Fatima Retreat House that has blessed us in all our daily needs and prayers.

    May God bless the Jesuits who are contributing so much of their talents and abilities for the progress and prosperity of Mangalore. Our prayers, our support and our best wishes will always be there for Fatima Retreat House.
