Thanks for your feedback. You are right Fr. Agnelo did not die whilst saying saying mass. I remember my father telling me that Fr.Agnelo colapsed while saying mass (I may have got confused here) But I think he collapsed while preaching/Mass on 19th Nov. and died next day? the 20th Nov.1927.
You say "He had been bedridden and during the last days unconcious". Bedridden for how long?? See the links below for further reading on the Life of Fr.Agnelo. Moreover, Fr. Agnelo was not buried outside India or outside Goa. Yet the Goa Church neglected His Tomb? It would be nice if u had also comment on this. btw, does any one knows that St. Thomas (one of the 12 appostle) was buried in India (Madras) ? >JoeGoaUK wrote: >"For most of us, Fr.

He had been bedridden and during the last days unconcious. His Anjuna co-villager, and proteg�, Pe. Faustino de Sousa, who is awaiting being declared VENERABLE, used to tell the anecdote that on being instructed to maintain silence because he was ill, the intrepid boys replied: The night is for silence, not the day.
