Venerable Agnelo D'Souza (Fr. Agnelo)

We left 11.30am for a short tour to Rachol Seminary, Church,
cemetery, Pilar and Anjuna, back home at 7pm with two hour lunch break at a Rachol Restaurant.

Sadly, we could not get inside the house at Anjuna as we were
told the inmates of the house had gone out (Fr. Agnelo brother's
(grand?)daughter- in-law and her son). Hope I got it right.

Fr. Agnelo D'Souza was born in Anjuna Gaumvaddy in
1869. Died at Rachol Seminary on 20th November, 1927
He was buried there at Rachol Cemetery. see pic
His mortal remains were transferred to Pilar in 1939

When Fr. Agnelo was buried, the priest who performed the final rites

said 'I have just laid a Saint to rest'

'Saiba Sant Agnel, mhojea oslia patkeamchoi ugddas kor'
