Morogoro,Tanzania              

         From Fr. Brain Jerstice

I received an Easter Card from Father Brian which enclosed two photographs, shown below.  Father Brian is a past Rector of the Salesian School at Blaisdon Hall

Father Brian is proud to display and promote various goods received from the UK.

The first photo is of a Sanctuary Lamp bracket made in Blaisdon, by a boy under Brother Alan Garman’s tutelage.  It was first used in the for several years at Moshi and is now at the Novitiate in Morogoro. 

I wonder if we might be able to establish which Boy made this bracket.  In any case we are always proud when anything from Blaisdon and Brother Alan is put to good use, in Africa or anywhere in the world.

The second photo shows some boys at the Salesian Secondary Boarding School at Mafinga, Tanzania, which is where Father Brain is now working..  In this case the goods, namely the balls and shirts came from Farnborough.  So we congratulate Farnborough on their gifts.

Thanks, Father Brian, for keeping us updated on small happenings in your territory.

Father Brian tells me he is still putting to good use some of the late Brother Tom Caulfield's tools.  Remember the excellent Missal Stand Father made using those tools of the beloved Brother Tom, who was a Saint of a man, who truly loved his pupils.  The Salesian 'Loving Kindness' part of the Salesian Preventive system of education, put daily to great effect.
