Mangalore: Br Gregory Menezes (95), a pioneer of the Goa, Mangalore, and Mysore monasteries, passed away on September 29 at the age of 95. Known for his humble, simple, and saintly life, Br Gregory will be laid to rest on October 1 at the Infant Jesus Shrine, Mangaluru.

 

Hailing from Kulshekar, Mangaluru, Br Gregory, fondly referred to as ‘Giga Brother’, was a key figure in the development of the Karnataka Goa province of the Discalced Carmelites. After completing his formation, he served in various capacities in Goa, Mysuru, and Mangaluru. His significant contributions include transforming the barren lands surrounding the monasteries into fertile farms, a testament to his dedication and ‘green hand’.

Throughout his life, Br Gregory was cherished by the Carmelite fathers and brothers of the Karnataka Goa Province for his wisdom, simplicity, and unwavering commitment to service. His years of experience, especially during his time with the Belgian community in Goa, played a pivotal role in shaping the Karnataka Goa province.

 

In his final days, Br Gregory resided at the Infant Jesus Shrine, where he lived a life of prayer and austerity, never once complaining about the pain and suffering he endured. His peaceful passing on September 29, the feast of the Archangels, was a fitting conclusion to a life marked by faith and devotion. He will be laid to rest on Tuesday, on the feast of St Therese of Lisieux.
