A Good Shepherd and beloved Fr. Lopez De Pariza passed away at the age of 102 at 9:30PM Indian time on June 20, 2019. 

પ્રભુપિતાના એક અદના સેવક તરીકે જે વિરલ વ્યક્તિએ આ આયખું પસાર કરી નાંખ્યુ તેઓ તો પરમપિતાની યોજનાના અડીખમ ભાગીદાર હશે જ, એટલે તેઓ પ્રભુપિતાના સાન્નિધ્યમાં સહુ સંતો અને દૂતો સાથે ઈશ્વરનો મહિમા કરશે એમાં કોઈ જ શંકા નથી!

આપણે એમના જીવનમાંથી “સર્વને નિર્દોષ પ્રેમ” અને “સહુની નિ:સ્વાર્થ સેવા”નો પાઠ શીખીએ, એ જ સાચી શ્રદ્ધાંજલિ! – કેતન ક્રિશ્ચિયન.
