Dear Sir,
An article published by "Sathyadeepam" in their May 16-31st issue, cites
instances where some priests in Goa refuse to administer sacraments to
people who dare to challenge them or are poor and so have no voice, besides
instances of parish funds being administered arbitrarily.
According to the article, about 200 Catholics met in Margao on April 18th to
form the "All Goa Parishioners' Association" (AGPA) which will address
parish priests' "dictatorial attitude," besides fighting corruption and lack
of religious freedom in the Church.
I'd be much obliged if you'd send me contact details of the AGPA as we face
similar problems in Daman.
Thanking you,
Yours sincerely,
Noel Gama
