Faith-sharing bump.
Thanks for that report! And here's hoping that all FReepers in snow areas are adjusting well to the colder temps and snowy weather!
Dear Freinds in Christ,
I am probably one of the few Freepers who gets Salvation's Catholic Caucus Readings on a daily basis and is probably the only Catholic Freeper here whose Ancestors were baptized in the late 1500's by the Compatriots of Saint Francis Xavier.
I am an Orthodox Indian Catholic of Goan- Portuguese Descent and in Goa we still have the "Miraculous Body" of Saint Francis Xavier preserved in a casket at the Cathedral of Bom Jesu in Old Goa.
There is an exposition of his Body, once every 10 years. The last one was held in 2004.

In Jesus and Mary,
If y'all want to know anything about Catholicism in Goa or in India, please do not hesitate to ask me.
