Jim Littleton’s latest contribution to the history of the Province:
Love Seeking Truth, MSC Ministry at Daramalan College, 1962-2020
In his introduction, Jim writes:
Love Seeking Truth incorporates the basis for all MSC ministry which is love, while at the same time recognising that education is a search for truth and some styles of behaviour must be challenged in the search for truth.
He adds:
I was initially rather hesitant to compose a booklet on MSC ministry at Daramalan because much of the ministry there has been carried out by laypeople, particularly in the last 30 years. So I wish to acknowledge that, and state that the family atmosphere of the school and its strong pastoral care system of support for one another owes much to the splendid efforts of lay staff, while acknowledging that it was begun by professional MSC.
In composing this booklet I have approached the topic historically and have used aspects of the history of the College to structure the story. To enhance the narrative I have written small “Recollections” of some deceased MSC who worked at Daramalan for many years. I have also included “Memories” provided by a few volunteers.
