About us
A small store with deep roots in Goa.
A family pharmacy in Old Market
Holy Spirit began as a small shop in 1987. The family grew the store by making room for more stock, building relationships with suppliers and staying involved in the day-to-day work. Today, customers from all over Goa visit us at our shop opposite Holy Spirit Church in Margao.

Founders
The people who started it
Benjamin C. Rebello and Remetina Barreto e Rebello, affectionately known as Remy, founded Holy Spirit Medical Store in 1987. They started with limited resources, and some people doubted that Benjamin could open a pharmacy.
Building the business took perseverance, hard work and sacrifices over many years. Benjamin and Remy still go into the store and help look after the business they built together.
