THEY DARED TO BE DIFFERENT (SET III)

These are the stalwarts who formed the First Jesuit Community at Mount St Joseph. We are happy to present to you the unforgettable contributions they have made at the beginnings of this our Home...

Fr Lawrence P Colaco: He was the Procurator of the Province when MSJ began. He managed the Finances for MSJ. A writer of his own right, anecdotes and quotes came easy to him.

Br Rubelio Calligaro:When MSJ began, he was the Infirmarian and Tailor, who came from Calicut and served in this house for eight years. He observed religious discipline with great fidelity, and with dedication he carried out his simple duties. He had great compassion for the poor,and did much to alleviate their poverty. He lived to the ripe old age of 95.

Br Scaria Vadaparam: He was the first person to be given charge of the farm and kitchen at MSJ; he was a great cobbler too. He is the seniormost member of the Karnataka Province and is presently residing in this house. He is a Contemplative in Action and prays for all of us. He has a fine balance of humility and humour.
