Hello Eric,
Indeed it’s very sad news given by Eric, about the Carnac Road Chapel. It
was the most frequented chapel for me during my three years residence in
Mumbai, just next to Metro Cinema. As it was a walking distance, I can say
equal walking distance also to Our Lady of Dollars, but preferred to this
chapel, I will certainly miss it on my trips to mumbai.
Thanks for bringing this information. Atleast I wont be shocked when I land
in Mumbai.
Cheers
Jerry Fernandes

Subject: [Goanet] St. Xaviers Shuts Carnac Road Chapel.
It was not a Parish, but the School's chapel filled in for generations of
Marine Line - Crawford folk, specially the 8 am Choir Mass. I have learnt
that the Jesuit fathers have shut it's doors, a response to falling
attendance: most Crawford Market catholics have now moved on. It had been
magnificently renovated in the early 60's: at the helm of
inspiration/design/architecture was Basque native, Rev. Molinet - he had
taught us french. It would never have happened, however, without the
Barcelona duo, Bro. Munoz and Bro. Hernandez, master craftsmen who never
appeared to put their chisells down.
I really meant to remember the Choir, doing this today. My eyes well
at the memory of the guys swinging out ' we pray to God and for his
mercy, ---
- to thee we bring our joys and sorrow ----', Ignatius Day's 'Noble
Night', and always, the National Jana Gana Mana ! Thank you so much, the
late Conductors Paul Frank, Victor Coelho, solists Trevor Taylor/Stanley
Pinto, not to omit the Director, the Rev. Bonet. eric.
