**************************************** For more information/links, see http://goanet.netfirms.com ****************************************I am in total agreement that we Goans must strive for our Goan brethren to be raised to sainthood of the Catholic Universal Church. We must do all that we can for the Ven. Fr. Agnelo de Sousa to be beatified, but we must also put in all our efforts and prayers for the Blessed Joseph Vaz to be canonized. What can we do to impress Cardinal Jose Saraiva Martins (Prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints) to expedite the two processes?
