The Good Samaritan FundThe Good Samaritan Fund seeks to provide funding to individuals and families with verifiable emergency needs when other services or funds are unavailable. Funds may be approved for utilities, medical expenses, child care and education, shelter/payment of rent and other critical needs. A referral is mandatory to seek approval of help under this fund.The Archdiocese of Goa with a noble and worthy vision to assist the poor and needy, has initiated this Good Samaritan Fund at the Diocesan Level and also at the Parish Level. If the need is extreme and amount is too big, i.e. above Rs. 20,000 then an amount of Rs. 10,000 will be given from the Good Samaritan Parish Fund and remaining Rs. 10,000 will be given by Good Samaritan Archdiocesan Fund, for which necessary request letters will have to be made.This fund can be raised by way of donations, fund raising activities, major feasts, offerings on occasion of weddings, anniversaries, etc.In our parish The Cofre Committee has resolved and commenced this Good Samaritan Fund which will be managed by a three-member committee, whose term of office will be three years.

This committee has the following members: –
1. The Parish Priest “Pro Tempore”  – Fr. Andrew Pereira – Chairperson
2. The Treasurer of the Cofre – Mr. Alex S. Rodrigues – Member
3. P.P.C. Moderator – Mrs. Succorina Fernandes – Member

An appeal goes out to all the parishioners to join in this common endeavor of our church with generous contributions so as to be genuine missionaries in prayer, action and sacrifice. This will enable everyone to share God’s love with needy and hungry brothers and sisters.
