Estamos publicando nova página do Necrológio ( Necrology) para 2002. Herman Falke (CA) nos permitiu usar seu trabalho 'A viúva de Naim' para ilustrar esta edição. Ele igualmente nos enviou uma poesia da irmã Irene Zimmerman, OSF, que trabalhou por um bom tempo no Alverno College, em Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Herman e a irmã trabalham juntos na edição de um livro de poesias. Agradecemos à irmã por ceder esta poesia: Firstborn Sons and the Widow of Nain.*

O
que acontece?CongoDia 6 de Janeiro de 1902 o missionário alemão P. Melchoir Goerke convidou o P. Grison a estabelecer uma missão em Basoko. As autoridades da colônia local não gostaram muito da presença do missionário pois ele os tinha criticado. O Povo, porém, adorava.
Dia 6 de Janeiro de 2002 o Bispo Laurent Monsengwo e mais uns 20 padres celebraram os cem anos desta fundação....
Umberto Chiarello representou o governo geral nesta celebração e escreveu um relatório sobre a efeméride: (Basoko: Celebrating 100 Years). Semana que vem, vamos publicar artigo sobre sua viagem pelo rio Congo.
Ottawa - Milwaukee
Though Fr. Herman Falke, SCJ, of Ottawa and Sr. Irene Zimmerman, School Sister of St. Francis of Milwaukee, have not yet met in person, their kindred spirits became acquainted a few years ago in the Waseda Gallery, located on the grounds of St. Joseph Retreat Center in Door County, Wisconsin. While Sr. Irene was making a retreat there, she visited the exhibit of Fr. Falke's art work and wrote poems in response to his Eve's Creation and Ruth Gleaning. They began to correspond. When Sr. Irene sent her book of scriptural poetry, Woman Un-Bent (Saint Mary's Press, Winona, 1999), Fr. Herman dropped his current art project to carve Cana Wine in response to one of her poems. In ensuing correspondence, they learned that they not only shared a love of Scripture and creation and found these to be a source of artistic inspiration, but also that they both will celebrate their Golden Jubilee of commitment to religious life in the year 2004.
To celebrate this event together, they plan to collaborate on a book of visual and verbal reflections a collection of his recent art pieces illumined by his meditative prose and her poetry.

Fr. John Strittmatter, an SCJ serving in Middleburg, South Africa, shared some of his work in a recent letter to Fr. MacDonald:
"The hospice work continues to grow very steadily, and Sr. Cathy Thomas is kept busy giving caregivers courses and attending workshops and seminars all over the country. In the past year the branches have cared for over 1,100 patients of whom most were with HIV/AIDS. The soup kitchens are also busy as so many people are unemployed (about 60%) in this area. The 'Mzamo' disabled group is still struggling on even though it is rather difficult. However, we did get some help via 'Dockda,' which is a Catholic agency for development which distributes some monies from Europe, but that was only a little and only for this year.
"The shelter for the street children is open again & monies received from the national lottery have helped there. The 'Last Comfort' funeral business is also gradually getting on its feet and is able to provide cheaper service for those in need. And soon I hope to move my scrap and furniture repair business from the church and church yard to another area and have it supervised by another newly started development group which is working for job creation.
"God bless!"

P. Dehon e seus ex-alunos19ª assembléia dos ex-alunos do S. JoãoIn his address, Fr. Dehon recalled the history of St. John's. It was solely established with the supernatural understanding to do well for France, diffusing the fruits of Christian education. He said: "We have known trials, some coming from Divine Providence like the fire and illnesses; others were through human hands like the competitions and threats of '80. This was only the beginning. The struggle which is agonizing now, prepares us for days to come that will be more difficult. We do not laugh at the trials. Our Lord also bore his trials and he himself said that the disciple is not greater than the master. But we have also had many days of glory.
