Fr. Brenton Cordeiro - Pastor
I was born and raised in Goa, and I was fortunate to be able to also be ordained a priest in Goa in May 2021.
After feeling a strong call to pursue the priesthood, and in particular to minister in North America, I quit my job as a reporter with Reuters News and moved halfway across the world to join the Companions of the Cross. It wasn’t an easy decision to let go of my comfortable ‘old life’, my career, or all the plans I had to become rich and famous and to travel the world. Nor was it easy to leave my family, everyone and everything I knew … or my homeland, where the temperature almost never drops below 60 degrees in the winter, to move to sub-zero temperatures and far more snowfall than I would like!
But all of it has been worth it. For while my ‘old life’ was great, God is already showing me that He has even greater things in store for me.
