Could you please convey the following message on the occasion of the Launch. On behalf of the Friends of Saligao, Perth Western Austalia I would like to congratulate Fr. Mascarenhas on this very significant contribution in assisting us to understand an important event in our conversion to Christianity. We congratulate Fr. Mascarenhas on his spirit of dedication and his meticulous research in providing us the memories of history in an eminently readable book. We wish Fr. Mascarenhas Good Health, Happiness and Joy in all his endeavours. We would be very pleased to have a review of this book which we will include in our forcoming Brochure for the celebration of the Mass of Thanksgiving in honour of Mae de Deus. I will be happy to purchase a copy autographed by Fr. Mascarenhas and will make arrangments for payment through my sister Martha Sequieira in Saligao. We are particularly delighted that the Book has been dedicated to the Patriarch Archbishop Filipe Neri Ferrao to whom we send greetings. Best wishes to all present. Take care and God Bless.
