'''Pilar''' is a village in [[Goa]], India, some 10 km from the state capital [[Panaji]]. It is on a hill top and has a panoramic view of the [[Arabian Sea]] and the mountains all around.

==Etymology==
The village is named after [[Our Lady of the Pillar]] (''Nuestra Señora del Pilar'' in Spanish).<ref>https://www.timesofindia.com/city/goa/A-pillar-and-its-Spanish-connection/articleshow/6732458.cms</ref><ref>https://www.timesofindia.com/city/goa/Pilar-monastery-turns-400-today/articleshow/21113819.cms</ref>

==Pilar Society==
The headquarters of the [[Society of the Missionaries of St. Francis Xavier, Pilar|Missionary Society of St. Francis Xavier]] is located at Pilar, hence the common name of ''Pilar Society'' given to the missionaries of Saint Francis Xavier. [SFX].<ref>{{cite web | title = Pilar Society | url = http://www.societyofpilar.org/ | accessdate = 2014-01-08 }}</ref>

There are [[Pilgrimage|pilgrims]] who visit Pilar every Thursday to venerate the mortal remains of [[venerable]] [[Agnelo de Souza|Father Agnelo]], a priest of the above-said Society who had lived a virtuous life.

The [[Pre-Novitiate]] house is doing well in Pilar. They organised an art exhibition there entitled ''Waves Of Destruction... Waves of Compassion...''
