Saligao Serenade, a website-cum-blog celebrating the history, traditions,
culture, folklore and people of Saligao – a colourful village in Goa, India –
was formally launched in Mumbai in the last week of December 2009. The main
author of the essays featured on Saligao Serenade is Fr Nascimento Mascarenhas,
the well-known Goan priest and historian from the village, who has written much
on the history of the Catholic Church in Goa. The essays have been selected
from the vast number of postings by Fr. Nascimento on the Saligaonet
mailing-list between 2001 and 2005, and some additional material that he has
been working on subsequently. Selection and editing of the essays has been
done by Val Souza, a seasoned Indian Information Technology journalist based in
Mumbai, but with roots in Saligao. Also featured on the site are sketches by
Mel D'Souza, an artist and author originally from Saligao and currently in
Canada. Saligao Serenade was formally launched on 27 December 2009 by Fr
Nascimento's brother Michael Mascarenhas and sister-in-law Lina, on the
occasion of the couple's Golden Jubilee Wedding Anniversary celebrations in
Mumbai. The website is organised into various categories, covering History,
Culture, Customs & Beliefs, People, Religion, Village Matters and Nature.
Saligao Serenade welcomes original article submissions on subjects connected
with the village, in addition to comments on the existing posts. New essays
will be added every week on the site, which is managed and maintained by Val
Souza. Saligao Serenade is accessible at www.saligaoserenade.com.
