    Joseph Crasta began his mission with the sole intention to serve the least, last and the lost ones without expecting anything in return. Awards will surely boost him. But he will continue to serve the poor with dedication and selfless love. Congratulations to Joseph Crasta and his family members who deserve our appreciation. May his tribe increase.

    Congratulations Bro. Joseph. We are happy to call you, a modern day Good Samaritan. The award appropriately reflects the endless hours you have spent and thus becoming a small god for those homeless street people -‘Manna’, No one deserves this award more than you.

    You are a great example to the rest of us clerics as well as clergy, setting a new standard or reminder that ‘Gospel is a way of life’

    Congratulations to Joseph Crasta on being awarded the Pingara Rajyotsava award. In my opinion the most deserved candidate and this award has been aptly given to him. I think he needs more help in the form of funds and manpower to carry on with his work than these awards. However these awards will surely keep his spirits up and gives him a recognition in the society for doing this wonderful and noble social work. I join many others in wishing him all the success in his mission.
