Sorry to hear & read of the demise of Fr. Jimmy, we pray for the repose of his soul. Our condolences to the family. Who wouldnt remember Fr. Jimmy? I knew him well as soft spoken & always smiling, ...can still picture him as we usually saw him or met him around the area of Lourdes Convent & he always had something nice or funny to say & I will always remember his smiling face - (kindness personified comes to mind) & of course as most knew, he used to celebrate mass at Lourdes Convent when he was in Saligao. Good to know he had a good innings ..travelling till the end ...wow! all by the Kindness & Grace of God - but then kindness begets kindness eh? ......& here I am & though no spring chicken, (I am 30 years his junior)....have a problem with travelling & everything else...Fr.Jimmy was truly blessed...may his soul rest in peace.... And his family & all who came in contact with him(including people like me) should consider themselves blessed too. I am sure he will be blessing us from his place above & is probably tickled pink by all that is said & written about him now. He had a quiet sense of humour. Ta ra Father, pray over us & bless us as you always did! Annette & family. PS: Was on leave & didnt have access to the net, so missed out reading the sad news & late in sending my condolences.

Jimmy D'Souza (FORMER PRINCIPAL OF ST JOHN VIANNEY PRIMARY SCHOOL, KARACHI) My condolences to A. Alba and the D’Souza family on the passing away of Fr. Jimmy. Fr. Jimmy was a quiet person, soft-spoken and gracious. I remember him telling me ‘go for a higher form of prayer – Contemplation! Just be with the Lord.” I remember Fr. Jimmy himself, after celebrating Mass at Lourdes Convent, would ‘sit with the Lord’. It’s good to know he was active in the Parish till the end – a truly dedicated Priest. May his soul rest in peace.

I will always remember his lovely, radiant smile, his kind words and a demeanour all his own. He will, undoubtedly, be missed by all who knew and loved him. May he rest in peace.

He celebrated his 90th birthday last month and was still active in his Parish till he was hospitalised early this month. He had the joy of celebrating 64 years as a Priest in August last year. His funeral will be held on Saturday, 30th January at 1100 hrs at St. Patrick's Cathedral in Karachi.

Jimmy D'Souza (FORMER PRINCIPAL OF ST JOHN VIANNEY PRIMARY SCHOOL, KARACHI) Thank you for your inputs, and timely sharing of the news, John Gois. People from Saligao are reading of it, and sharing these words of yours too with them. Fr Jimmy was a good priest and a nice man. Always smiling, always cheerful, doing his best for his adopted home (Karachi) and keeping his ancestral home (Goa, specially Saligao) always in his mind. We must celebrate the lives and contributions of these great souls, who go about doing such a lot of community work, without even expecting credit for it! I was amazed how hard Fr Jimmy worked even at his age... he must have been happy to go with his boots on, so to speak. Those who love their love and know the value of their contribution don't even need to think of retirement! Regards and good wishes, Frederick. (One lane away from Fr Jimmy's home in Saligao.)

He was my principal in St John Vianney Primary School, Karachi Pakistan in the late 50’s and early 60’s. Last year in December he had brought a group to Goa from Karachi, Pakistan for St Francis Xavier’s Exposition in spite of his old age. I missed him by a couple of days during my visit to Goa. They were delayed in getting their Visa from Karachi. He was a great generous priest with the poor. May His Soul Rest in Peace.

If so, he was my neighbour... a good man, and a good priest. FN On 28 January 2016 at 04:07, 'John Gois' [email protected] [CGMNet] <[email protected]> wrote: SAD NEWS - REV.
