It was a matter of pride when I heard Shree Madwaraj saying the bishop opening 5 new church buildings in Udupi diocese. During the days of prosperity by pooling all this prosperity is a viswavidhyalaya possible sir? With your help that too? In Barkur they built 365 temples during sunshine era. But the edifices crumbled when clouds or rains came.

Some coconut trees and cashew trees are still around. Hope K.com will not be hacked for putting this comment. They build Notre Dames too elsewhere. God bless.

Its very nice to thank those who built this church and parish during this celebration. I am reminded that once, I plucked a mango from Sasthan Church. Fr. Alphonse Sequiera calmly asked me and gave me a cloth bag. "Fill this bag with mangoes to take home." Secondly, Fr. Alfred Roche is the one who bought for me my very first pair of leather chappals and a steel trunk. I am grateful to them. Thank you for this article.
