Goanet meets in Goa: December 27, 12 noon and January 7, 4 pm (meeting point: Kala Academy canteen). See you there! ------------------------------
Did you know that there are two churches in Anjuna? Yes, the original 400-year old St. Michael the Archangel�s church at Igroz vaddo, and the chapel-turned church of St. Anthony at Vagator. The residents of Vagator found it difficult to commute to St. Michael�s church. So, they approached the authorities at the Bishop�s House in Panaji, sought the necessary permission, and changed the chapel into a church in the middle of the last century. Although Chapora/Kaisua adjoins Vagator and is much further in distance, its residents still belong to St. Michael�s parish.
Besides several small chapels, there are still five main chapels in Anjuna where Sunday mass is celebrated. They are:
1. St. John�s Chapel (Sam Joaochem Kopel) at Gaumvaddy (besides Sunday mass, Venerable Fr. Agnelo�s novenas also take place in this chapel on every Thursday);
2. Our Lady of Sorrows� Chapel (Piedade Saibinnichem Kopel) at Chinvar;
3. St. Anthony�s Chapel (Santa Antonimchem Kopel) at Praias;
4. Holy Cross Chapel (Sant Khursachem Kopel) at Chapora; and
5. Our Lady of Health Chapel (Saud Saibinnimchem Kopel) at Mazallvaddo.
The residents of Mazallvaddo and Peddem are trying their level best to change the chapel into a full-fledged church. So, there may soon be a third church in Anjuna!
