(Usually the feast is celebrated at the Boa Vista Hillock, near bypass road, the church there is now under renovation)

From childhood, we have been hearing of this Miraculous Cross erected by shepherds (Gorvam Bhurge)? which started growing on the hillock and upon which Jesus Christ was appeared – More of it was explained by  Fr. Eremito in his homily (refer Video clip coming soon)




14 priests concelebrated feast mass with Fr. Valerian Vaz as main celebrant, Fr. Ereimito Rebello Rector of Bl. Joseph Vaz Sanctuary, Parish Priest of Se Cathedral Fr. Leonardo Correia, Fr Afonso, Fr. Edward, Fr. Roquie, Fr. Simon, Fr. Alex,  Fr. Eusico, Fr. Valentine, Fr. Aquilio, Fr. Kumar and Fr. Pio

 ‘Pez’ or Canji was served to all from 7 am .

Why ‘Pez’ ?
Pez was the main meal of Bl. Joseph Vaz and also he took care of his patients at the time of epidemic with pez and prayers.

6  big copper pot-ful (moddkio) of Pez cooked and each pot took 3 bucketful of  rice
