Young farmers of the Chicalim Youth Farmers Club in Goa, India, recently transplanted paddy in the fields where their former parish priest, Fr. Bolmax Fidelis Pereira, had encouraged them to revive agriculture and care for the environment.
Fr. Bolmax Pereira, a Catholic priest, environmental activist, and educator from Goa on India’s western coast, died of a heart attack on May 26 at the age of 50.
