There are a limited number of tickets available. We are extending our deadline until Friday, 25 November to give everyone a chance to buy their meal tickets. This will be a great chance to interact with your family and friends as there will not be a community event sometime soon. Also take note: We will have a non-perishable item donation drive at the church on the feast day. Many families are missing meals and cutting portions because of poverty. So our committee has decided that it will be a nice gesture on the part of QGA to collect non-perishable items and donate to a charitable organization. Items can be canned goods such as canned meats, fish, peanut butter, canned or dry soups, grains, beans, tea bags, coffee or all kinds of pastas that have an extended expiry date. There will be donation baskets at the church. Please bring your donations on the day of the feast and add it to the basket. We look forward to your continued support and hope to see you all in large numbers. Dev Bhorem Korum/ Thank you!

The QGA committee has been keeping you and your families in our thoughts and prayers throughout this rather difficult year. Although we have been unable to get together as a community, we have come up with a novel idea to reconnect again safely with you all and commemorate our time-honored traditions as we approach the end of 2020. Therefore, we cordially invite you to join us in our virtual/online St. Francis Xavier Feast Day celebrations as we honor the patron saint of Goa. Details of this event that will be presented in 2 parts are as follows: Part 1: St. Francis Xavier Novena of Grace
Part 2: St. Francis Xavier E-Social
Further information will be provided in the coming weeks, so please check your emails, the QGA website and the QGA Facebook page for updates. We look forward to "seeing" you all at the virtual celebration! Yours Sincerely, QGA Committee QGA website: https://qga.weebly.com QGA Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/qgaquebec/
Given the situation with Covid-19, we are unable to have any of our social events with the community. However, in order to celebrate World Goa Day with the global Goan community, we are sharing this wonderful video with you all. Many thanks to the talented singers and musicians for their performance!
