For more than twenty-five years, Mr. Loy Mendonça has been part of the story of our parish.

Teacher, choirmaster, and faithful servant, he has given generously of his time and talents to our community. As he returns to Mangalore, we thank him for all he has shared with us over the years.

Recently, members of the Grand Choir gathered to spend an evening together and bid him farewell. The photographs in this album offer a glimpse of that occasion, along with moments from the many years he spent leading, guiding, and serving through the music ministry of our parish.

We wish him God’s blessing in the chapter that lies ahead, carrying with him the prayers and affection of the parish family he leaves behind.
