“The only way you can truly get to know an author is through the trail of ink he leaves behind him.” - Carlos Ruiz Zafón. These quotes hold true to the author of the two books Rev. Fr Vincent Victor Menezes.

Being the former editor of Mangalore’s famous Konkani weekly magazine ‘ Raknno’ and a wonderful author, Fr Vincent unleashed his new work ‘ 12 + 3 Apostles’ and re publishing his earlier book ‘ Amal piyevnyacha sovnsaranth’ on the 29th of November, 2015 at the Most Holy Redeemer’s Church, Derebail. The new books were inaugurated by Msgr Fr Dennis Moras Prabhu who led the 7 AM mass also. Msgr Dennis Moras Prabhu gave his good wishes to Fr Vincent and his work. Fr Vincent thanked the people associated in the release of the book as well as support from the present and past parishes. While the book ‘Amal piyevnechya sovnsaranth” depicts about the problems faced by people due to alcohol, the book ‘ 12 + 3 Apostles ‘ is more of a spiritual kind of, explaining the 12 and the 3 more apostles of Jesus Christ.

The books are available at the Derebail Church office for Rs 100/- each. Parishioners have an offer : both books for Rs 150/- only.
