OUR AMERICAN CONFRERES

Over the years, we Australian MSC have got to know our American MSC confreres through their presence in PNG, visits to Australia – and quite a number of our visits to the US. While their missionary ministry opened in New Ireland after World War II, they also established built up the MSC presence in Colombia.

But, like many MSCs, they are not as young as they used to be. Here are some anniversaries and birthdays, Brother John, Frs Tom, Leon, Vince.

Brother John Paradise, 68 years professed

Fr Tom Carney, 65 years ordained.

Fr Leon Weisenberger, 60 years ordained, right, and Joe Gleixner left

Fr Vincent Freeh, 60 years ordained.

One of the advantages of Facebook for stories and photos is the Facebook page of Jim Miller MSC – the source for this posting. With thanks.

And this week saw his birthday as well – but only 69!
