Chinchinim Village is spiritually blessed The Chinchinim Vilage in the past was admired, famous and was called granary of Priests and Football players.Over the years this exclusive tag is being diminished. However the focus here is only on DOUBLE vocations in a family .It is the greatest gift of Divine for this spiritual calling to be the hands and feet of Christ to spread and strengthen Catholic FAITH.The parents are the main inspirations, who have inculcated , encouraged , and sown the seeds to wholeheartedly embrace this vocation ,need to be saluted , glorified and appreciated for their contribution to the Catholic community.The congenial atmosphere and guidance at home has led to the germination, sprouting and blossoming of the spiritual seed from within . I recall a few examples from the past and present . Any ommissions are unintentional and hence there is scope to enlarge the list, since a refrence to this effect is not on record.
