Australian MSC Brothers at the General House

Recently, we posted a list of postwar students who were sent to Rome.

From 1950, a number of Brothers from the Australian Province were stationed at the Generalate, Via Asmara.  Here is the list:

David Smith, later ordained.  From 1950.

Charles Lang.  From 1950.

George Lockhead. From 1959.

Tom Fitzgerald. From 1959.

Jos Beelen. From 1963.

Barney Delaney. From 1979.

Jac Boelen. From 1985.

Ministry ranged from domestic work to cooking (George Lockhead being the outstanding cook, especially during the Vatican Council with hospitality and entertaining), archive work (especially for Barney Delaney) and hospitality (especially with an increasing knowledge of Rome and its highlights for visitors, check with Jac Boelen).
