We feel glad to have gathered to “Sing Praises to God” for the beautiful gift of Fr Simon Furtado to the Society of Jesus, that of 70-graceful years lived with commitment and sacrifice. God has accomplished much in and through Fr Simon during his past 91 years of life and 70 of them as a Jesuit. He celebrated the Holy Sacrifice. Fr Freddie was the Provincial's
delegate at the short felicitation programme. Fr Furtado was joined by his sisters-in-law and Jesuit friends, neighbouring Religious, relatives & near and dear ones. It was indeed a very memorable day for him. We thank God for all that he has done through Fr Simon and we wish that God may continue to keep Fr Simon in the palm of His hand and bless him with good health and with all the graces that he needs to carry on His service of love in the years to come.

Thanks for that interesting blog summing up Uncle Simon's years as a priest. We feel honoured that he is so well loved by his community and the sisters he preaches retreats to. God grant him many more fruitful years of service especially with the young and aspiring novices.
