Fr Manuel Gomes, Director of the Diocesan Centre for the Biblical Apostolate and Professor of Pastoral Institute, Old Goa, released Fr. Nascimento Mascarenhas’ fifth book and the second in the series entitled ‘Follow Me’, at the St Pius X Pastoral Institute, Old Goa, on 13th February evening. Fr Joseph A Rowland Salema, the director of Pastoral Institute, who was the Guest of Honour, reviewed the interesting study of history of Tiswadi or Ilhas, written by Saligao-born Fr Nascimento, beginning with the historico-geographical, religious and political situation of both pre- and post-Portuguese era. The fifth chapter traces briefly the history of each church of Tiswadi, its evangelisation and detailed lists of the Parish Priests along with their bio-data.

Congratulation!
May God Bless you and the good work you are doing.
I am glad to read about the second book of my old classmate, Fr.Nascimento J.Mascarenhas, from Saligao: Follow Me, with the compilation of the names of the parish-priests of the parishes of Tiswadi or Ilhas.
It is really a tedious work done by him for the greater glory of God!
I am eagerly waiting for his third book on the parishes of Salsete.
May God bless his work!
I would like to buy Fr. Nascimento’s published books. Some time ago, my dear student and friend, Fr. Ivo de Souza, a many faceted bright man and also an author, made a warm reference to Nascimento’s first book. I would like to buy Fr. Nasciment’s published books. I would be grateful to him if he’d send me through someone r these books and how to pay the cost price.
