Shri Markhus S Dabhi (Karsan Kaka) of Xavier Nagar, Vadodara passed away today on 26/06/2014.
His funeral mass will be held on 27/06/2014 at Pensionpura Cemetery, Vadodara at 9.30 AM.
After knowing about the sad demise of Bapuji, our Bishop Rev. Thomas Macwan visited the family and offered his condolences to the sad family with his prayer.
He is survived by his five sons and three daughters namely Sister Vandana (Daughter of the Cross), Shri Paul Dabhi, Shri Joseph Davis, Shri Daniel Dabhi, Mrs Alvisha D Macwan, Shri Edwin Dabhi, Mrs Juliyana Macwan and Shri Kirit Dabhi and entire family. His wife Brijitaben was died before one year.
He possessed great leadership ability. Even in his elderly years, he was quick to help and give direction to those around him as and when needed and in all kind of community problems. He played remarkable role in our community development. He served in Indian Railways for more than 38 years.
We have to take note that he was the person who initiated cooperative movement by establishing Baroda Catholic Co-operative Credit Society in early years. He will be greatly missed by the entire family and the community too.
May God rest him in peace.

આજે ઘણા દુ:ખ સાથે આ સમાચાર જણાવું છું કે મારા વ્હાલા કાકી શ્રી. સવિતા જોન પરમાર (કરમસદ) આજે સ્વર્ગે સિધાવ્યા છે. ટૂંકી માંદગી ભોગવી એ પ્ર્રભુના પરમધામમાં પહોંચી ગયા છે. હમણાં ગયા વરસે જ મે મહિનાની ૧૬, ૨૦૧૩ ના દિવસે તેમણે પોતાના દાંપત્યજીવની સુવર્ણજયંતી રંગેચંગે ઉજવી હતી.
કાકીની દફનવિધિ આજે બુધવારે મે મહિનાની ૨૮ તારીખે બપોરે ૧ વાગે કરમસદ મુકામે રાખવામાં આવી છે.
મારી મમ્મી ની પાછળ બરાબર ત્રણ વરસમાં ત્રણ દિવસ બાકી હતા ને મારા કાકી પણ એમની પાસે પહોંચી ગયા. પ્રભુ એમના આત્માને પરમ શાંતિ બક્ષે અને અમ સૌ પરિવારજનોને સાંત્વન આપે એવી પ્રાર્થના.
રવિવારે જૂન ની પહેલી તારીખે પ્રાર્થના સભાનું આયોજન કરવાનું વિચારાઈ રહ્યું છે. જેની જાહેરાત પછીથી કરવામાં આવશે.
For the past 15 days I was in the tribal areas far away from Georgetown. We have Jesuit Missions there, something like the South Gujarat and North Gujarat Adivasi Jesuit Missions in India. I conducted sessions for more than 50 young boys and girls who will be Confirmed later this year, and, four days of Marriage Seminar for those going to marry in the Church. Very fruitful ministry indeed. The people there are simple, sincere and spontaneous, like the Adivasi Catholics in Gujarat. In one Jesuit Mission there was no electricity for four days at a stretch! So, no TV, no internet, couldn’t charge my cell phone, no fan to avoid hot and humid tropical weather. Except for this negative, there were many positives. Praise the Lord!
In John Khanna’s death I have lost a very intimate friend, my brother, my mentor and guide, for the past 32 years. I have thousands of memories, happy, sad, humourous, spiritual, wisdom and enlightenment ….. Because I had no access to internet and phone, I came to know about John’s death two days ago! I wish I were there with him, for the past couple of months at least, by his side when he was suffering a lot in different hospitals. My presence would have soothed him, comforted him, because there was deep love, regard and understanding for each other. I am about twenty thousand Kms away from Baroda! May the Lord grant him eternal peace and bliss in His Kingdom; comfort and peace to the bereaved family-folks, friends and fans.
