Agree with Hilary, Goans were there long before, most of them
shifting from other parts of Mumbai. A few years back IC
Parish had 20,000+ parishioners, which included Dahisar. Now
Dahisar has a seperate church. The Bazaar is the typical Goan bazaar
where you find mostly Goans coming for their daily fresh fish with Goa Bag
:)
There is already a Manglorean Association there, but Goans have recently
started. A Prince Jacob tiatr is always house full. The midnight mass
for Christmas/New Year starts at 9 n ends by 11, with reading and hymns
in English/Konkani/Hindi. Its a typical goan village with Ambe, Ponos, madd.
Dec is more festive with communion parties and each building having
their own Christmas/new year parties. Slowly the old bunglows are making
way for new buildings.

Good Morning Frederick
Pertinent to your mail below, I don't think IC Colony is the newer
settings for Goans. As far as I know goans have been here long long
before.
I know of many who have/had property/ies within the Colony, Goa type
houses.
