A number of my generation students will remember him as a professor of Civics & Administration, World Religions and Logic at St Xavier's College, Ahmedabad in the early 70s. After his training in catechesis in Manila, he helped establish the Pastoral Centre at Vadodara and then moved off to become PP in Anand and Vadodara. Two of his sisters, Sr Francis Therese & Sr Philomena of Vedruna Srs were nuns. A Bhavnagari who was proud to be one. May his soul rest in peace. Francis Parmar, SJ
