Fr. Jose Ubaldo D'Cunha bid farewell to Betalbatim Parish on 31st May 2013, but not before inaugurating the beautification phase II of the the church square. Thursday the 30th of May will be remembered not only for the showers that poured during the inauguration but also for the good work Fr. Ubaldo started seven years to transform Betalbatim Parish.

Fr. Ubaldo cut the ribbon in the distinguished presence of Mr.Francisco Xavier Pacheco ( M.L.A - NUVEM constituency ), former Fabrica Attorney Mr. Franky Fernandes, Social justice activist Mr. Isidore Mendes, President elect of Fabrica Mr. Hillary Cota, P.P.C Moderator Ms. Lorraine Godinho , Panch Members Mr. Anthony, Mr. Micheal, Mr.Vincent, Mr. Peter.

The parishioners braved the pouring rains to witness the last ribbon cutting ceremony during the tenure of Fr. Ubaldo as a Parish priest of Betalbatim . This was followed by a thanks giving mass to thank the Lord for the services of Fr. Jose Ubaldo D'Cunha as the parish priest and Fr. Jeronimo Afonso as the asstt. priest . After the mass end few representatives of the various groups in Betalbatim spoke about the good work that Fr. Ubaldo has left behind and showered praises on Mr. Francisco Xavier Pacheco who was instrumental in getting the front and backside of the church beautified., it was very touching to see Mickky get emotional as he voiced his gratitude to Fr. Ubaldo for giving him an opportunity to contribute to the Parish and the crowd for standing by him during his difficult times. The Parish got together to forget and forgive and all differences were ironed out on a happy note . Fr.Ubaldo you may be no longer in our parish, but in our hearts we hold you close for the wonderful person you are. Every visit to the garden will remind us of the love you spread for nature and the greenery you left behind .
