Farewell to V.Rev Fr. Austin Peter Peres was conducted after the Mass.  The Church Choir sang a farewell song thanking our parish priest for his service, good work and the humble behaviour with a smile always on his face. Vice president spoke on behalf of the parish thanking him for his seven years service in Corpus Christi.  He concentrated on constructing good Christian families rather than constructing big buildings. Mr. Vincent Mascarenhas read the “Manpatr” and presented it to our dear parish priest.  Secretary gave vote of thanks and Mrs. Celine compered the programme.  VP, Secretary, Ward Gurkars, Parish council members. Organisation heads and parishioners offered flower bouquets thanking Fr. Austin.

Fr. Austin spoke and thanked all people for their love and co-operation in doing the service to our parish and promised to keep us in prayer. He also requested parishioners to pray for him to carry out the service to the people of God in the same way he did here.

People were served malt and puffs to end the function.
