As appeared in Herald today

Today, we went to Tuem for the first time (?)

Believe me or not, I thought Tivim and Tuem is one and the same. Tuem being Konkani for Tivim, it was only few months ago, I found out Tivim and Tuem are two different villages former being in Bardez and the later (Tuem) in Pernem Taluka.

Tuem is about 16 kms from Mapusa via Dhargal.

All buses going to Dhargal (Sports City), Mandrem go via Tuem. Bus takes about 30 minutes and the fare is Rs.12

The little church is located uphill on a hillock very next to it is Don Bosco Boys School and boarding.

It takes about 10 minutes (Walking) to reach there from the main road. On the way, you first come across a small cemetery (See pic). New cemetery getting ready next tot he church (se slides) Tuem has about 500 Catholics

Guess what? The moment I saw the school, I realised that I had been here some 5-6 years ago with someone but I did not know it was Tuem. Infact, we even went inside the school/boarding and even had tea with the priest. There (in the dining hall) I spotted a ‘Gurgureth’ and I immediately took photo of it.

I even saw the church from outside but honestly did not know it was Tuem Church.

For us, I guess, Tuem is more popular because of the famous tiatrist /Cantorist Francis de Tuem hailing from the village (he now stays at Mapusa, I am told)
