Cardinal Filipe Neri Ferrão presented the book, “A Church on a Journey: The Archdiocese of Goa and its Governors” by Fr. Joaquim Loiola Pereira on 13 October, at St Joseph Vaz Spiritual Renewal Centre, Old Goa. Published by New Age Printers, the book chronicles five centuries of the Archdiocese’s history. The launch featured reflections, hymns, and a call to preserve the Church’s legacy. Cardinal Ferrão actively praised the book, stating, “a labour of love” and “a narrative of faith, leadership, and community that has journeyed for over five centuries.” He commended Fr. Pereira’s “discretion, grace, and quiet faithfulness” over three decades, noting that the book captures “the spirit of the times and the character of the bishops who shepherded the faithful through peace, growth, and transformation.” He highlighted their roles as builders, reformers, and visionaries.
