Fr Henry Castelino has cut the birthday cake in the presence of Bishop Aloysius Paul D'Souza, Fr Vincent Victor Menezes, parish priest of St Rita's church, Fr Anil Castelino, assistant parish priest, Deacon Naveen Prakash Pinto and other priests at the church auditorium.
It was indeed a glorious moment to Fr Henry Castelino, who pioneered to educate the rural promising students in a remote neighbourhood of Shirva, around 20 kilometers from Bajpe airport, few decades ago. Moreover, it was also a co-incidence that Fr Henry Castelino had celebrated golden jubilee of priesthood on March 3, 2008.
