Bean, Doug (2 de abril de 2022). «Cincinnati priest appointed as new Columbus bishop». The Catholic Times(en inglés). Consultado el 13 de abril de 2022. «The bishop-elect’s devoted Catholic parents came to the United States from the Goa state of southwestern India in the early 1970s. His father was a physician, and the five boys in the family followed in his footsteps and were accepted to medical school. Three of them completed med school, Bishop-elect Fernandes answered his call to the priesthood and another brother is now a judge in Toledo.»
