It is a historic and proud moment for Goa and Goans throughout the world after Pope Francis elevated Archbishop Filipe Neri Ferraro as one of the 20 new cardinals on August 27 at the Vatican City in Italy.
Goa Archdiocese thus got its first cardinal after 465 years. People of Goa and Aldonkars in particular are much elated over the news and were praying for him in a special way.
The Church in India too rejoices over 2 new cardinals from our country India. The other to be elevated as Cardinal is Archbishop Anthony Poola from Hyderabad.
With this good news, we can now hope that the two new Cardinals will carry on the work of the Almighty not only in their respective areas but throughout the country.
