It is with profound sorrow and aching hearts that we bid farewell to Fr. Joseph Gauci Sacco, a priest who dedicated over five decades of his life to serving the Santals, the largest tribe in India. Fr. Gauci Sacco breathed his last on the 27th of June, 2023, at the age of 84, leaving behind a legacy of unwavering faith, boundless compassion, and unyielding commitment to his calling.

Fr. Gauci Sacco was not only a priest but also a beacon of hope and solace for the Santal community. Hailing from Malta, he embraced his sacred duty and was ordained on that fateful day of March 19, 1966, at the College of St. Mary's, nestled amidst the majestic Himalayan mountains in Kurseong, India. From that moment forward, his life became an extraordinary journey of selfless service, walking hand in hand with the Santals, sharing the love and compassion of God.
