Bro. Victor Campos was reunited with his Master and Lord on 10th March 2021. He had lived his life to serve Christ and His people, and he was ready to go home to God. Br Campos joined the Society in the year 1956 and was sent to Portugal to complete his Novitiate; he joined the Jesuits, desiring to serve in the Lord’s vineyard as a Brother. He returned to Goa in 1960, was sent to Bombay for training, and then began school and office work at St. Britto HS, Mapusa, under Fr. Meyrelles, the Principal at that time.
He was a man of prayer, deeply rooted in Christ; he demonstrated spiritual depth and familiarity with God. His standard of living was simple and exemplary; he showed no desire for worldly things. He showed great availability to whatever was asked of him. A man ready to serve, he rendered his loving services at Xavier Training College, Desur, St. Paul’s High School, Belagavi, and Pedro Arrupe Institute, Raia. His willingness to extend himself in service to the community brought about good will and a spirit of cooperation in the community. He is fondly remembered by all who benefitted from his presence. He contributed his talents in whatever way he could, to the well-being of the community.
Towards the latter part of his life, he spent most of his time in prayer, and helped out in doing odd jobs, to make his small contribution to the community. Those who came to PAI-Raia for the daily Eucharistic celebration remember Br. Campos for his gentleness and dedication to keeping everything ready much in advance. For Br. Campos, it was his way of showing his great love for the Society and the Church.
