The Feast of Saints Peter and Paul, celebrated on June 29th, is a significant event honoring the martyrdom and contributions of St. Peter and St. Paul.

Their portrayal in the picture – together holding the Church, symbolizes the unity and collaboration necessary in the Church’s early growth. Despite their different missions and occasional disagreements, their combined efforts and mutual respect were crucial in establishing a unified Christian community. An important point to remember in today’s day where disagreements can gain unnecessary focus rather than being healthy discussion. Read more

Saint John the Baptist is the Patron Saint of: Baptism

June 24th is the celebration of the Solemnity of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist.

John the Baptist was born to Zachariah and Elizabeth, through the intercession of God, who was otherwise too old to bear children. According to the Scriptures, the Angel Gabriel visited Elizabeth and Zachariah to tell them they would have a son and that they should name him John. Zachariah doubted this, thus was rendered mute until the time his son was born and named John, in fulfilment of God’s plan. Read more

Nursing caries, or tooth decay, can be caused when your child sleeps with a bottle. This condition is also called baby bottle tooth decay. It is caused when a child goes to bed with a bottle filled with milk or juice, anything except water.

Nursing bottle caries usually affects children between the ages of 1 and 2. If your infant falls asleep while breast feeding, he is also at risk.

Bottle tooth decay develops when baby teeth come into frequent contact with too much sugar. Bacteria in the mouth feed on the sugar, multiply, and produce acid as a waste product. The acid attacks the teeth and tooth enamel, resulting in tooth decay.

Sun dazzles at its pinnacle,
Summer breeze surges through trees,
Vegetation in full bloom,
Is frequented by bumblebees.

The Earth basking in sunlight,
Yearns for a lashing shower,
The enchilada of a season,
Monsoon shall eventually conquer. Read more

God has given each one of us a beautiful body, unique in look, shape, colour and size. Many a times we fail to acknowledge and thank the Almighty for this lovely gift. All of us have two legs and two hands. Similarly our body comes with two eyes and two ears, each having to perform different functions in our day to day lives. There is an age old saying that a blind person begs for only one eye and a deaf person begs for only one ear. They humbly expect that they should get at least half of their natural right of having two eyes and two ears per person. It is quite natural that someone with both legs missing, wishes that he gets at least one. Read more

Birthday reminds us that life is worth celebrating.
The Parishioners of Aquem got together to celebrate the 31st birthday of our Assistant Parish Priest, Fr. Leslie Gomes on the 25th of March 2024, beginning with the Holy Eucharist, that was offered by Fr. Leslie Gomes, along with our Parish Priest Fr. Andrew Pereira thanking the Almighty God for another fruitful year.

After the Holy Eucharist, the large gathering assembled outside the church to celebrate the gift of life of Fr. Leslie Gomes. Fr. Leslie shared his happiness and good fortune by cutting and sharing the cake with all around. The parish committees showered him with gifts as a token of their love and appreciation, towards all that he had been doing for the parishioners of Aquem. Read more

In Catholicism, the Most Holy Trinity is a fundamental belief that expresses the nature of God as three divine persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. The Trinity is often described as three distinct persons, yet one divine being—God. The Catholic understanding of the Trinity is derived from both Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition. The Trinity is not explicitly mentioned in the Bible, but its concept can be found throughout the New Testament. For example, at Jesus’ baptism in the Jordan River, all three persons of the Trinity are revealed: the Father speaks from heaven, the Son is being baptized, and the Holy Spirit descends like a dove (Matthew 3:16-17).
