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.

It's interesting, you know, after just posting Father's Christmas message yesterday and then posting the clip by Fr. Barron about the true nature of Advent, we never know when God will take us home.
The media and secular society loves to mock celibacy and the priesthood but it's easy to see that Fr. Pinto has more spiritual children than those people ever will. God will not be mocked. Father was a priest who was faithful to the end, who loved God more than anything and made countless sacrifices for his many spiritual children.

Thank you for your witness of love & keep spreading TOB ;)
That message of authentic love has been on our hearts recently. We feel a burden for many young girls we know struggling so much in search of that but are buried in so much anger or feelings of insecurity. Do you have retreats or such that they can attend? Would you be willing to come speak to them/us? Please? :)
I am currently discerning religious communities and I found your video on my recommended for you page on youtube. I told my mom about your order and she said to me "Betsy you need to stop finding so many orders that fit you so well. You can only enter one!"
I honestly have no idea where God will lead in the future except that He has given me a desire to evangelize through building relationships.
I'm really excited to be in contact with your community. Please keep me in prayer as I continue to discern His will.
