    Annual Thanksgiving Mass and Dinner 2016

    Leave a Comment / Past Events /

    April 2, 2016  Before we mention about the successful event that took place on 2nd April 2016 at the KCA, we would like to mention that there was a major re-vamp of the hall just before the event. It was a handful of dedicated members who undertook the task of refurbishing the totally neglected hall. Certain sections of the walls had to be re-plastered.The sides of the walls were skirted with tiles to avoid damages during functions. The fans were changed and old lights were replaced with energy efficient LED lights. The toilet blocks were also refurbished and are now more presentable and clean. The entire venue was painted and polished in record time to welcome our dear members. Our thanks go out to the team who worked round the clock to complete the job in record time…Thanks!!!  After years of silence the KCA was back in action, starting with a bang at the 2nd April 2016 function. We cannot forget to ‘Thank the Lord’ for his countless blessings to the KCA and its members, so we started the proceedings with a Thanksgiving Mass lead by Bishop Percival Fernandez and then followed by a social get together. The Bishop, in his Homily, stressed on peace and extending our hands towards helping our fellow members at the KCA and the community around us.  Between the mass and the social, we had the newly elected president Mr. Sunil Alva introduce his new team and this was done with a presentation in which he gave us a run down on the history of the KCA, the views & objectives of the KCA, and the task & vision ahead.  After the presentation, all our members were happy to rearrange their chairs in groups and meet each other after so many years.  The evening was well lead by our two compères, who had many activities lined up for our members and their kids to join in and have fun.  Sure enough the kids were ever willing to break the ice and headed straight to the floor for a set of games and to grab a prize or two. Therewere games for the adults too. To keep everyone on their toes several‘crazy calls’ were made from time to time and those who could fit the call walked away with a prize. The DJ did not disappoint those who wanted to dance the masala, jive, waltz or those who just wanted to shake a leg.  While some members walked around from table to table meeting KCA members and exchanging pleasantries, some members just enjoyed being around and enjoyed the hot snacks which kept on coming.Sure enough we also had some good hot drinks to wash it down with. In keeping with the Mangalorean flavor of the evening we got Flora Caterers to give us a menu withthe best of Mangalorean delicacies. The evening was a great success and our dear members kept asking about when we could all meet together again. Very soon, we said!!! Look forward to seeing you all at our next event…KCA Raindrops!!!  Cultural and Recreation Team

    Dr. Anthony J F Sequeira

    Leave a Comment / Prominent Personality Profiles /

    Eminent Medical Practitioner, and Former Senior Vice-President of Kanara Catholic Association  Profile by Dr. Jeanette Pinto Dr. Anthony Sequeira, an octogenarian, is an energetic, charming and popular person belonging to the Mangalorean community of Bombay.  He is present at all the social gatherings, especially those of the KCA.  His father came to this city of dreams nearly a century ago in 1918, and so Dr. Anthony is a thoroughbred Mumbaikar. He belongs to a large family of eight children, four boys and four girls.  He was born after his three elder sisters, and so as per hear say tradition, he was referred to as ‘Tiklo’ of the family, which signifies that he is a very lucky ‘boy child’.  His father established the Dr. Titus William Sequeira Maternity / Surgical Hospital in 1935 in Mazagaon, and Dr. Anthony was the first family baby to be delivered by his father in his own hospital.  The family was raised in Mazagaon. Educated at leading Jesuit institutions – St. Mary’s High School and St. Xavier’s College in Mumbai, Anthony had a brilliant academic career.  He studied Medicine at the well-known Seth G.S. Medical College in Bombay.  He excelled not only in academics but actively participated in sports, and was even considered the sports icon of the college.  He was the first student in the history of the college to break a University Athletics Record on December 8, 1953.  His forte was the Walking Race, and he also took part in the 800, 1,500 and 10,000 metres race.  He also played for the Bombay University Hockey Team for three years. His professional life was interesting and busy.  He took over his father’s practice immediately after his father passed away on December 24, 1959, and continued to do so for 42 years.  I have often heard him say, “You were my baby” whenever he would meet with the person.  He was an active member of the St. Luke’s Medical Guild Bombay, from 1959 to 1969.  His Magnum Opus was as the Secretary General of the Third Asian Congress of Catholic Doctors held at the Taj Mahal Hotel in 1964.  In 1966, he was the Secretary of the Indian Delegation to the XI International Conference of Catholic Doctors in Manila, and was the first Indian to present a paper at any International Conference for Catholic Doctors. Although, a medical practitioner with a busy schedule, Dr. Anthony is a person of varied interests.  He tried his language skills at Journalism; and as a medical student he soon became a Sports Freelancer and Columnist of National Standard, Indian Express, The Bombay Chronicle, and other publications.  He was the Medical Correspondent of BLITZ and contributed to Sports Week.  He was also a member of the Editorial Board of the Catholic Medical Bulletin, a supplement of The Examiner. Dr. Anthony held many erstwhile positions; he was twice elected President of the Lions Club, Mazagaon (Dist. 323-A).  The Catholic community is proud to have had Dr. Anthony as the President of the Catholic Association of Bombay in 1976, and the Vice-President of the Catholic Union of India / All India Catholic Union (1977 – 1984).  He was the Spokesman of the Archdiocese at the Jai Hind College Rally on the O.P. Tyagi’s Freedom of Religion Bill, protecting the rights of the minority communities.  In addition for three terms, he was the President of the Bombay Catholic Urban Co-operative Housing Society Ltd., Willingdon Colony, and put an end to the 40 year old fractious litigation. Dr. Anthony’s wife of recent memory, Dr. Lalita Pais met with an unfortunate fatal accident, and passed away on October 31, 2005.  His two daughters, Dr. Priya, who recently passed the M.R.C.O.G. London, and Dr. Pravina, a Dental Surgeon, are both very successful doctors working abroad.  He is blessed with a grand-daughter, Rhea, who is the apple of his eye. Generous at heart, Dr. Anthony has made financial donations to various causes.  He has established Awards in Sportsmanship at St. Mary’s High School, for both seniors and intermediates with cash prize; and Seth G.S. Medical College; the Men’s and Women’s Championship of St. John’s Medical College, Bangalore; the Bombay High Schools I Division Football Trophy; and the Bombay University 20 KMS Walking Race.  A pro-lifer at heart, he instituted the Sr. Annunciata RGS Religious Golden Jubilee Pro-Life Award in the Archdiocese of Bombay.  He appreciated the compassionate attitude of the KEM Hospital Nurses who took care of Nurse Aruna Shanbag, who lived for 36 years in a coma.  On this account, he instituted the KEM Hospital Nurses Welfare Fund for the Aruna Shanbag Care, and additionally for KEM Hospital Nurses Welfare Fund.  He also instituted the Dr. Sanjay Oak Best Residents Award and the Dr. Manubhai L Kothari Best Students Prize.  His initiative and organization gave exposure to Dr. John Billings of the Mucous Ovulation Method to an Indian audience with regard to Natural Family Planning. Dr. Anthony is a multi-faceted personality.  In addition to his achievements, he was: Secretary, St. Luke’s Medical Guild, 1959 – 1969 Secretary, Indian Federation of Catholic Medical Guild, 1964 – 1969 Corresponding Editor for India of the ‘Linacre Quarterly’, the Official quarterly publication of the National Catholic Physicians Guild of USA, 1969 – 1974 Awarded the ‘Sharadini Dahanukar Hirvai / Sanman’ i 2013, virtually the life-time achievement award of the Seth G.S.

    Managing Director, Ryan International Group of Schools Profile by Dr. Jeanette Pinto An outstanding educationist that India can be proud of today is Grace Pinto, the Managing Director of the Ryan International Group of Schools, and over one hundred schools in the country.  Having started with a single school, it sprouted into the St. Xavier’s Group of Schools, and now graduated to the Ryan International Group, operating under various Boards, and offering variety of curriculums.  They have pioneered national and international events, which have become a benchmark in the segment of global education. She is a charming lady; “grace” personified, welcomes everyone with a big smile, and is warm and gracious.  She loves to be with children, and is proud of their achievements.  The Pinto couple have two lovely daughters, and a son named Ryan.  She is a family oriented person, and spends much time with them. I asked Grace what motivated her to work in the field of education, to which she replied; “Nearly four decades ago, my husband Dr. Augustine F. Pinto, set up a school with a vision and passion to enable every child around to have access to education, and to equip children with life skills and empower them to be socially responsible leaders.  I joined my husband on this education life journey as a natural progression to nurture the seed God planted in our hearts”.  With success and God’s blessings, they have established school after school in different states of the country. It surely is a herculean task to handle and manage so many schools, how does she do it?  Firstly, Grace is blessed with talents, and a good personality.  She mentioned that being at the helm of affairs to manage the many schools demands a lot of sacrifice and time.  There are multiple roles she needs to perform simultaneously.  It is challenging, and often she finds herself multi-tasking.  She is grateful to her army of committed and dedicated teachers and staff, and immensely appreciative of her family members who support her on this ongoing journey. Over the years, the Ryan Group has been recognised with over 110 awards and accolades at national and international levels.  The Guinness World Records was presented to the group of schools for the highest charity donation.  Also, the group has been rewarded more than 8 Limca Book Records for its activities in media, sports, and education.  There are several other awards too that they have received. As a philanthropist, Grace has plunged herself into many areas of social outreach.  Her several initiatives include adoption of orphanages, blind homes, homes for the elderly, reaching out to differently abled children, children of widows, women empowerment programs, village adoption, hygiene programs, health camps, environment awareness, and providing relief and rehabilitation measures for disaster- affected communities.  She does not miss any cause that needs attention.  Recently, the Ryan’s Food Bucket Challenge initiative successfully collected over 700,000 kilos of food items, and distributed it to over 200 NGOs in India. Grace has received several accolades for her multi-farious involvements.  The highlights being; she was one of the five Speakers at the Presidential National Prayer Breakfast at Washington D.C. in 2010 – “it was probably the most memorable moment in my life”, she said.  She is one among “100 Women Achievers of India” felicitated by the President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee.  She received “the Pride of India – Woman of the Year” Award by Lord Raj Loomba, UK Parliamentarian.  Indeed, the list of achievements is long, and that makes all of us proud of her.   Grace is a woman of deep faith.  In all her endeavours and successes, she gives ‘glory to Jesus’.  She has a powerful message to gen next.  She urges them to be willing learners of life, and respectful towards others.  “I want them to be humane, empathetic, and responsible leaders of tomorrow.  Anchored firmly to values and faith in God, one can face the challenges of times.  Do not forget to count your blessings and contribute to the progress of our society, and the nation at large”. Grace has her family ancestry rooted in Mangalore.  She is a woman of strong determination, and committed to the cause of education.  Her life has been a testimony of ‘Leadership in action’. She has done her family, the Mangalorean community, and the country proud.  Kudos to Grace!
