Elderly escorted for Exposition

In keeping with its motto of making life easier for the inhabitants of the twin villages of Guirdolim and Chandor Cavorim, Ganv Bhavancho Ekvott took 18 elderly persons to Old Goa to participate in the Exposition of the relics of Goencho Saib St Francis Xavier/
Carrying the 18 including the inhabitants of the Old Age Home at Cotta, the bus left Chandor at 1:37 pm on 12th December 2024.

GBE members Francis alias Hanchik Peixoto, Menino alias Minush Gomes and Jassu Gomes along with one person from Giurdolim assisted the elderly on their pilgrimage. Hanchik, in fact, was the project manager for this activity.

  The pilgrims were taken in three buggies to the Se Cathedral where the Exposition is being held without having to stand in the serpentine queue.

After paying homage to the relics, the pilgrims participated in the 3:30 pm mass at the Basilica where the relics are usually housed.

GBE served the travellers fruits, biscuits, tea and water.
