Panaji, Feb 18: It is a Herculean task to write the obituary of a multifaceted and multitalented personality like that of Fr Vasco do Rego, SJ, a Jesuit priest of Goa province. He was fondly known as Pitaji (means father) among his friends and followers. He was born on January 8, 1925 at Panaji, Goa. His parents were Antonio Augusto do Rego and Aurora Maria Helena Correia Afonso do Rego. His father was a known doctor. He was the grandson of Roque and Claudina Correia Afonso, a couple from Benaulim who had seven priests among their 52 grandchildren. Fr Renato do Rego of the Goa archdiocese was his brother.

The priest died on February 13 in Budapest.
Jalics found himself reluctantly at the center of a controversy in March 2013 when Jorge Bergoglio, his former Jesuit superior in Argentina, became Pope Francis.
The new pope was accused of not having helped the Hungarian and other Jesuits that were targeted by the Argentine military dictatorship.
Jalics and another priest, Orlando Yorio, preached in shantytowns and were arrested in March 1976 by an extreme right-wing paramilitary group.
They were taken to a detention center known for its cruelty, the Navy Petty-Officers School (ESMA), and tortured before being released five months later.
But in 2003 an Argentine journalist, Horacio Verbitsky, accused Bergoglio of having abandoned his two Jesuit confreres.
