Dear Members & Guests
Indian Visa Needed for SJCS Goa Reunion 2008
Just a reminder for those travelling to Goa for the reunion. An Indian Visa is necessary for Canadian Citizens.
The same applies to those leaving from the United States, United Kingdom and other countries outside India.
Applications have to be couriered now.
Check the Indian High Commission website for more information.
Please don't wait for the last minute.
Christmas is a busy season, so get it done now and out of the way.
All the best.
Steve Parado
P.S. Thanks Steve for your kind posting. A good reminder.
JO thanks too for the reminder for those leaving from the US.

Precious Blood Sisters Welfare Fund - update
Dear Jo cc: SJCS Members
Thanks for your message re above and here is a brief explanation regarding the two funds.
With reference to the Nun's Fund that Anthony Antao was responsible, there was good response and money collected towards the Nun's Fund has been forwarded accordingly confirming that the original fund was intended to help them with their 'missionary' work.
This new 'Nuns Welfare Fund' is targeted at their personal needs, as you too have rightfully said, assisting with their health issues etc., and when this fund was introduced by the SJCS Goa Reunion Committee, was also intended towards funding of Sr. Paula's attendance at the reunion.
It is wonderful to learn that Sr. Paula will be attending the reunion (originally intended for two nuns), and to make this possible, we have to arrange her flight, accommodation with meals and hopefully some spending money. In our planning we had not made a request for this funding, nor had set aside reserves and as such, support from our SJCS members would certainly be well appreciated.
We welcome contributions from our SJCS alumni to the Welfare Fund, to cover the needs and welfare of the Precious Blood Sisters and to make it possible for one representative (Sr Paula) to attend the reunion. Some members may wish solely to help out with bringing Sr Paula to the reunion.
We have just made a good start with a cheque for £195 - donated by Lally (Cardozo) McDermott, ex SJCS - towards the Precious Blood Sisters Welfare Fund.
We do not have much time left and cannot set a deadline and as such, contributions received as early as possible would be appreciated.
Your kind support in your message highly appreciated and any plans you have in mind to support this issue would be most welcome.
Wishing you all A Happy New Year
P.S. Contributions to this Fund may be sent by cheque made payable to the appropriate Regional representative as noted below and endorsed on the back "Precious Blood Sisters Welfare Fund".
Please include email address/postal address for acknowledgement.
