How many times I (and may be you) have passed by this road? Yes, how many time I travelled this road? How many time I must have seen this statue? Ans. Average 3 times a month That’s is the road I and most people use to go to Cansaulim and Utorda/Majorda Via Cortalim Church, Sancoale, Sancoale Spring/Sanctuary, Sancolae Holy family Convent/School, Sancaole Church and then on to verna-airport bypass etc It was only yesterday, I found out that the statues are infact, in front of Blessed Joseph Vaz ancestral house Sancoale. I have been seeing it from my childhood and always thought it was part of Holy Family Convent, Sancoale. I decided to visit there only after I read on GT and H about the Mass at the Oratory of Blessed Joseph Vaz. at 4pm on 10th July 2009 That was the first time I see the 400 year old house/Oratory That was the first time I see the equally old Jackfruit tree. Always wanted to see the both and I saw it at last. How many time I (and you) may have passed by this road?
