Life

António Mascarenhas was born at his mother's ancestral home in Divar, Goa, India, on 24 February 1916. He was baptized as Antonio Inacio Salvador Matias Mascarenhas and spent his early childhood in Zanzibar and his school years at St. Paul's School, Belgaum, after which he joined the Society of Jesus.

He completed the Gregorian University Ph L summa cum laude. Although he remained a layman, later marrying and raising a family, he was philosophically a Jesuit.
