    Congratulations to Veena Rebimbus Pais and the team of Konkani speaking community of Holy Rosary Church of Doha, Qatar. Wish you all the best. Hope this committee will work towards the benefit of Konkani language & culture in Doha. Earlier we had English speaking people in KSC & most of the programs were organized in English, hope this will change this year. Try to change the Konkani mass time as well as the venue of the mass.
