Fr. Leslie Francis, SJ Joins the Jesuits in Heaven
Today 31st July is the Feast of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus. Its members are called Jesuits. I am one of them.
On this auspicious day of 31st July 2023 at 6.45 am at the Health Care, Xavier Residence, Alto Porvorim, Goa, Fr. Leslie Francis (10 .02.1931- 31.07.2023), decided to join St. Ignatius and his Jesuit colleagues in heaven. He was 92 years young and the senior most Jesuit of Goa Province. He chose the best day to depart this mother planet Earth. May our Heavenly Father bless him peace and rest.
Fr. Leslie held many responsible offices in the Society of Jesus. He was an intelligent, sharp minded person, good teacher, thinker, lover of sports, and soft spoken gentleman.
