Dear valued
visitors, we have been receiving several news items pertaining
to Konkanni Christian community. Since ours is a site which
basically caters to the Konkanni cultural needs, so far we had
refused to publish this. But, after considering lot
of enthusiasm and interest among our people to cover this
type of news, we have introduced now a separate news
column, which in future, will publish merely news
related to Konkanni Christian community. Now this page is on
an experimental basis. We invite `local news` along
with the photographs, if available, from Konkanni Communities
all over the world. Please send at our email:
