The impossible is about to happen. We have approximately 900 signatures and need 100 more to make it to a 1,000. You have clearly stated you want a Goan Saint now. You have waited long enough - 300 years. A 100 more signatures and we can proudly send the petition to the Pope this month.
Thanks to all who have signed the petition so far. But continue to forward to family/friends and try and get the remaining 100 signatures to get to a 1,000. Don't miss this opportunity to help a Goan saint achieve his rightful honour after 300 long years. If Blessed Vaz is canonized a saint it will be due to people like you who helped his cause. Please sign your First AND Last name to the petition. http://www.PetitionOnline.com/JosephV/ The 300th anniversary of the death of Blessed Joseph Vaz (born Goa, India) is fast approaching on January 16, 2011. Our Joseph Naik Vaz Institute has worked to publicize his life and Cause since 1980, when we incorporated in California as a 501(c)(3) in the State of California. We ask for your support of our new Petition to the Pope, His Holiness Benedict XVI, asking that Blessed Joseph Vaz be canonized for the 300th anniversary of his death. Please sign your First AND Last name to the petition. http://www.PetitionOnline.com/JosephV/ 300 years is a long wait for a Catholic Saint and Blessed Vaz could be on the verge of being canonized with your support. Please sign the petition and forward to your family and friends to sign. All welcome to sign (i.e. you do not have to be Catholic). Please sign your First AND Last name to the petition. http://www.PetitionOnline.com/JosephV/ Regards, Filomena Saraswati Giese and George Pinto Joseph Naik Vaz Institute www.josephnaikvaz.org
