Remembering Father News Today

I spent memorable hours yarning with Father Bob and I accompanied the Father Bob McGuire Foundation food van on some of its nightly forays to parts of the city to provide sustenance to those in need. Invariably Father Bob would turn up at some point in the evening to lend his inimitable presence to the show. By Arnold Zable

Martyrs' Day or Shaheed Diwas is celebrated in India to remember freedom fighters who laid down their lives to help make India independent. While the death anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi on January 30 is the most prominent Martyrs' Day, there are six others as well.
