Fr. Dehon's meetings with the students of St. John's CollegeRick Di Leo (US) has been kind enough to translate Egidio Driedonkx's (CH) latest research publication: THE PRESENCE OF FATHER DEHON IN THE MEETINGS WITH THE ALUMNI OF ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE FROM SAN QUENTIN (1884-1924). In his introduction Egidio writes:During his long association with the students of St. John's College in San Quentin, first as Superior and later as priest and friend of those who were his students, Fr. Dehon participated in all the meetings with former students until 1924.
What he offers is much like On-going Formation. What did he teach them? These meetings and lessons, which appear in the chronicles of these meetings of the alumni, will inform us of what especially was his intention since the establishment of St. John's Institute in San Quentin with the formation of the youth in that city.
I hope this small work will help, with Fr. Dehon's example, to guide our work and commitment with today's youth in our formation programs.
Rome, May 1, 2001We begin this week with the first meeting of Fr. Dehon with the students of St. John's held on September 29, 1884.
Please Remember+Br. Petrus Matthijs Theunissen NEborn: 01.12.1912
first profession: 08.09.1947
died: 04.10.2001 at Cadier em KeerBr. Petrus made his novitiate at St. Gerlach, a house that no longer exist. After his first profession, in 1947, he was destined to work in the seminary of Bergen op Zoom where he took care of the fields and cattle. He dedicated himself totally to this task. He was then transferred to Rips. After six months he left Rips and returned to St. Gerlach. As long as his heath permitted, he dedicated his days to gardening. He also became an expert in bees. Through his life, Br. Petrus was a model of religious life. We can say without any doubt that he was a man of prayer and a servant to his others.
