Fr. Santan Pinto, SOLT 1948-2011
It is with a heavy and incredulous heart that I post the news that our beloved Father, Fr. Santan Pinto, died suddenly in a car accident after just arriving for a home visit in India. Apparently, Fr. Pinto was the passenger in a car that was struck and he died instantly. A Bishop in India, the Bishop of Belgaum, has contacted our community and confirmed this sorrowful news. Fr.

Thank you so much for your testimony and witness to our Lord Jesus Christ. On February 25 when you are going to hear in my state NC. Will you be sharing your conversion story? I would like my daugther to hear it. She is 24 and living a live much like you had. She needs to be inspired and to hear that the way she is living is wrong from someone other than me. My heart is broken, and I pray for her all the time. Thank you again and God Bless you,
