---------------- Sorry about the mistake about Br. Calligaro's accident. Guess I only got the news immediately after his accident and not his subsequent recovery. I would have loved to visit him on my trips to Bangalore if I had known he was at Museum Road. I used to visit St. Joseph's frequently as Fr. Cecil Saldanha(former Vice-Principal of St. Joseph's College) was my mother's brother. He passed away in 2000-2001.

What is the difference between a brother, rector and father?

Hi all,
-------------
May he Rest in Peace. I remember how he looked after us when we fell sick and had to stay in the Infirmary. I still have a woollen scarf that he bought me when I needed it. Still in good condition. Anyway goodbye Br. Calligaro. Maybe we will meet up sometime when we come to Heaven or wherever we go after this life is over.

Can you guys clue me in ? I can't for the life of me remember who Br. Calligaro was ? Was he in charge of the boarding section ?

Rev. Bro. R. Calligaro, SJ, aged 95, passed away on Oct.20, 2008. May his soul rest in peace.
This is really sad news. Bro. Calligaro was such a caring person. There were some funny things he used to say, like if your stomach was upset, in his typical Italian accent he would say, “Boy, take a tablet and go to the bathroom.” But, he was our doctor, our nurse and sometimes our counselor, all in all, a great man. May God bless his soul. RIP Bro. Calligaro. Regards to all, Chris Pereira
------------------- God bless him. He will be well remembered.
He sewed my jeans He stitched me up, He mended my shoes And comforted my bruised feet, When in pain, in vain to him I went, For when I fell, whether in hockey or ball, He comforted me through tears and pain
And when I was all alone and cried, I called ......Brother Calligaro He was there....he came ..............and my pain went away.........
Rest in peace dear Brother Calligaro Leslie Macedo |
