He originally belonged to Madyanthar and was an avid agriculturist and brought some village ruffian flair to our ward. He gained tremendous respect from priests, church heavyweights, and Gurkars of other Wards. He was passionate about his work as a Policeman, loved his garden and farm, and took his service as a Gurkar whole heartedly. He succeeded in showcasing the goodness and capability of our members. He gathered a few youngsters like me and organized
Moreover, we had a Ward Gurkar, who was soft and timid and always bowed down to other Parish heavyweights. In the 1990s, our ward was left out of many cultural activities and some of the priests took pains to visit our ward, but often overlooked. I grew unhappy with this attitude toward our ward.

Monthi Fest Origins History and Significance
Monthi Fest was celebrated in India asfarbackasthe 16th centuryand continues to this day. Todayit is seen as a popular and important feast among the Konkani Catholicsespecially of Kanara/
coastal Karnataka. On 25th November 1510, Portuguese armycommander Alfonso de Albuquerque (1453-1515) conquered Tiswadi from King Adil Shah ofBijapur. Soon after that he ordered a chapel to bebuilt on a hill, in honour of Mother Mary as thanksgiving for his safe escape from Kamran (an island in the Red Sea). Hedied later on 16th December 1515, and he was buried in that chapel as per his Wish. The chapel of 'Our Lady of Mount' still exists in present day Old Goa

Hyder Ali’s friendship with Fr. Joachim Miranda (a Goan priest)rector of Mote Mariano. He wouldhave been familiar with the 'festh' celebration inGoa. Thus, Monthi Fest celebrations were reborn at Monte Mariano,Farangipet, Mangalore perhaps in 1799; thanks to the initiative taken by Fr. JoachimMIranda.The Catholic church assigns a date for feasts based on the significant event of a saint’s life. As for the Nativity feast, it is celebrated on 8th of September,which is exactly nine months after the feast of the Immaculate Conception ofMary (December 8 th ). St Anna, mother of Mary, was barren until her old age.The birth of her child (Mary) occurs from her journey from barrenness to firstfruit. This could be a rationale behind why the nativity feast is also celebratedas a thanksgiving for the first harvest.
