So much has been done since that moment to the building up of the Church and Carmel in Zimbabwe. And it’s important to celebrate those seventy years and the enormous amount that has been achieved in this relatively short space of time. However, it’s probably true to say that the depth of sacrifice of all those who ministered in Zimbabwe over these years will never be fully known. I believe, as part of celebrating our platinum anniversary of Carmelite presence in Zimbabwe, that it is very appropriate that this book be published. Its editor, Father John (Jack) McGrath, has followed a noble tradition in the Province (which includes Fathers Peter O’Dwyer, Leo Gallagher, Michael Hender and others) in meticulously recording events over time. This is a vital task for any generation. Yet a work such as this is much more than the mere recording of information. It is our shared family history and as Martin Luther King once said, “We are not makers of history. We are made by history”. We need to understand our past, learning from those who have gone before us. Our history models for us who we are to be. As I read these pages, I am struck by the strength of dedication, courage and witness of the friars and others to the spreading of the Gospel in Zimbabwe. These pages also reflect their good humour and downright positive humanness in achieving so much in such a brief period of time. Standing on ‘the shoulders of giants’, we are then challenged to continue their work for this present age, according to the signs of our times, and forge our own history. I congratulate the Commissariat and all those who are part of the Carmelite Family in Zimbabwe on reaching seventy years of Carmelite presence in Zimbabwe. The Order of Carmel has huge admiration for how much you are still contributing to the Church and Carmel in Zimbabwe today in so many different ways. I congratulate John McGrath who has gathered and preserved the events in the Commissariat over recent years. Like all of his endeavours, he has approached this task with dedication, diligence and love. He has put together a very fine collection that helps to link us with our shared heritage, giving us an opportunity to learn about our family history. I thank especially Father Dave Twohig for his enormous work in the typesetting and layout design of this beautiful production. May God continue to bless all our endeavours, and, may Mary, Mother of Carmel, our model and inspiration, support and guide us in our lives and ministries in Zimbabwe and beyond. Makorokoto! Father Richard Byrne, O.Carm., Prior Provincial. 5 Father Vitalis Benza, Commissary Provincial, Zimbabwe 6 Foreword During 2011, Father John McGrath presented, with the approval and on behalf of the then Commissary Provincial in Zimbabwe, Father Simplisio Manyika, a ‘Collection’ in Four Sections, on the history and developments of the Catholic Church in Manicaland and on the activities of the Carmelites in Zimbabwe. He now continues to present this collection with the approval and on behalf of the present Commissary Provincial in Zimbabwe, Father Vitalis Benza. The collection has been updated and revised and informs the reader on general information, personnel and events of interest in the diocese of Mutare and of the Carmelites in Zimbabwe from 1946 – 2016. In this collection, Father McGrath has made an effort to combine, with the consent of Father Leo Gallagher, extracts from his book, The Catholic Church in Manicaland 1896-1996, published during 1996 and other prepared material put together by Father McGrath from 2011 – 2016. The late Father Michael Hender was very dedicated to preserving the different aspects of our history. He wrote in The Carmelites in Zimbabwe Magazine ( June 2012) Special Edition for the Provincial Chapter 2012, edited by Father Alexio Makokowe, “Hope points to the future but it is good not to neglect our knowledge of the past. Any extra effort done towards preserving different aspects of our history is welcome” (p. 27). In grateful memory of Father Hender, there are also extracts in this collection from his publication, A Souvenir of the Golden Jubilee of The Irish Carmelites in Zimbabwe 1946-1996. I hope that you find the details and the information which has been put together in this collection, ‘Mavambo’ (The Beginnings), of interest and of value. The main focus is on the diocese of Mutare and the activities of the Carmelites in Zimbabwe. Father Vitalis Benza, O.Carm., Commissary Provincial, Zimbabwe April 30th 2016. 7 Fernando Millán Romeral, O.Carm., Prior General, Bishop Paul Horan, Bishop Alexio Muchabaiwa, Father Jerry Galvin, O.Carm., and Father John8 McGrath, O.Carm. Preface The year of the Golden Jubilee of Carmelite presence in Zimbabwe, 1996, saw several important publications. Two works of note are The Catholic Church in Manicaland 1896-1996, compiled by Father Leo Gallagher, O.Carm., and A Souvenir of the Golden Jubilee of the Irish Carmelites in Zimbabwe 1946-1996, compiled by Father Michael Hender, O.Carm. In his Introduction, Father Gallagher states: “the book chronicles the main historical events that relate to the development and growth of the Catholic Church in Manicaland over the past hundred years and on the different missionary groups who together with the Manyika people have created this history. Many missionaries came to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ in a land that was not their own, the publication reveals some of their experiences in the meeting of different people, cultures and religious beliefs.” In the Foreword to the same publication, Bishop Alexio Muchabaiwa wrote that the work done by many people, “has been a great and noble task, it records and affirms the contributions of those who made that history. It is a fitting tribute to those who are living and those who are dead”. The work of Fathers Gallagher and Hender in the publications mentioned, and other publications in this collection, are of immense value. They are referenced

  • ABCD Overtop but Continued Efforts Urged the Archbishops Charities Drive Has Gone Over Its Goal of $2.5 Million, "However," Archbishop Coleman F
    ^VOICE APRIL 1. 1977 PRICE 25c VOL. XIX No. 4 ABCD overtop but continued efforts urged The Archbishops Charities Drive has gone over its goal of $2.5 million, "however," Archbishop Coleman F. Carroll said, "because of the inflationary period the nation is going through, it is hoped that efforts will continue to bring the ABCD total higher." Gifts and pledges to the drive to date have brought the total to $2,733,146, Msgr. John O'Dowd, V.F., announced this week, and was confirmed by Archbishop Carroll. "Many parishes have not reported their final results," Miami's Archbishop said. "It is hoped that by the end of next week their work will be completed and at that time final returns will be given. Very likely at that time the total will be $2.9 million and prayerfully, so that we may adequately minister to those in need, the final amount will reach $3 million. We urge all those who have not made a pledge to the ABCD, to do so as soon as possible. "Hopefully, with this figure, we will be able to develop a home for the aged. An increasing number of elderly is moving to South Florida and among them are a high per- centage of Catholics. With this increasing number, it becomes necessary for the Archdiocese to meet their needs. Plans for such a facility for the aged and its location will be developed in ensuing weeks and it is our hope that work can begin soon." "Archbishop McCarthy, the priests and Religious of the diocese join with me at this time to express our sincere gratitude to all those who, through the ABCD, have come to the aid of those less fortunate than themselves." Plans are progressing for a new Archdiocesan Family Life Center, another ABCD project.

  • A M D G Beaumont Union Review Summer 2018
    A M D G BEAUMONT UNION REVIEW SUMMER 2018 Those of you who attended the lunch at St John‘s on Remembrance Sunday last year may recall, that in my words of thanks to the Headmaster and Staff, I said that we talk of this nebulous concept of the ―Spirit of Beaumont‖. I continued: ―Yet we have the living embodiment of that Spirit right here‖. Up until 1967 St John‘s was always considered part of Beaumont and its Old boys whether they continued to the College or not eligible for The Union. That year they were cast adrift and I think the feeling of the Committee was that it was now the Stonyhurst prep in the south of England and it would have a new allegiance. 50 years on and this is no longer the case. They wear our colours, harbour our traditions, sing the Carmen. They play cricket on our grounds and honour the dead at the War Memorial. It is long overdue to rectify the situation and bring the BU and the SJBOBA into closer alignment (sounds Brexit). In 1905, younger members of the Union founded the Beaumont Casuals whose activities were more in keeping with their generation. It lasted four years when the Club came to an end, yet it was written that ―the idea of younger members associating together for sports and social gatherings is a good one, and it is hoped that one day the Casuals will come to life again‖. I think that time has come. ANNOUNCEMENTS MUSEUM In February I met with Giles Delaney at St John’s and I know you will all be pleased to hear that our memorabilia will, where possible, soon go on display.

    I The Denver Catholic Register W EDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15,1976 V O L . L ll Colorado’s Largest Weekly N O . 6 15 CENTS PER COPY 24 P A G E S Tensions Must Be Cooled in White Africa WASHINGTON (NC ) — The U.S. Bishops have warned that the country’s future position in Africa hinges on resolving mounting tensions and grievances surrounding “ the white-dominated societies of Rhodesia and South Africa.” } In a statement prompted by charges being brought against Bishop h Donal R. Lamont of Umtali, Rhodesia, the executive committee of the 1 ^ National Conference of Catholic Bishops (NCCB) and the U.S. Catholic Conference (USCC) called for an examination of “ our relationship to the drama being played out in Rhodesia.” Bishop Lamont is charged by the Rhodesian government with four counts involving alleged contacts between Catholic mission personnel and anti-government guerrillas. Originally scheduled for Sept. 20, the bishop’s trial has been postponed until “ late October or early November,” according to information received by the USCC Inter­ national Justice and Peace Office. Text of the NCCB/USCC statement follows: We wish to call the attention of the American press and public as well as the U.S. government and the American business community to the re­ cent statement of Bishop Donal Lamont of Umtali, Rhodesia. Bishop Lamont, an Irish missionary for 30 years in Rhodesia and president of the Bishops’ Justice and Peace Commission, has been a strong and con­ sistent voice for racial, political and economic justice in Rhodesia for. many years. Bishop Lamont has patiently tried, against great odds, to encourage change within the system, using his persuasive powers of reason to call upon the white minority in Rhodesia to recognize the political and moral bankruptcy of existing laws and institutions.

  • Race, Identity, and Belonging in Early Zimbabwean Nationalism(S), 1957-1965
    Race, Identity, and Belonging in Early Zimbabwean Nationalism(s), 1957-1965 Joshua Pritchard This thesis interrogates traditional understandings of race within Zimbabwean nationalism. It explores the interactions between socio-cultural identities and belonging in black African nationalist thinking and politics, and focuses on the formative decade between the emergence of mass African nationalist political parties in 1957 and the widespread adoption of an anti- white violent struggle in 1966. It reassesses the place of non-black individuals within African anti-settler movements. Using the chronological narrative provided by the experiences of marginal non-black supporters (including white, Asian, coloured, and Indian individuals), it argues that anti-colonial nationalist organisations during the pre-Liberation War period were heavily influenced by the competing racial theories and politics espoused by their elite leadership. It further argues that the imagined future Zimbabwean nations had a fluid and reflexive positioning of citizens based on racial identities that changed continuously. Finally, this thesis examines the construction of racial identities through the discourse used by black Zimbabweans and non-black migrants and citizens, and the relationships between these groups, to contend that race was an inexorable factor in determining belonging. Drawing upon archival sources created by non-black 'radical' participants and Zimbabwean nationalists, and oral interviews conducted during fieldwork in South Africa and Zimbabwe in 2015, the research is a revisionist approach to existing academic literature on Zimbabwean nationalism: in the words of Terence Ranger, it is not a nationalist history but a history of nationalism. It situates itself within multiple bodies of study, including conceptual nationalist and racial theory, the histories of marginal groups within African nationalist movements, and studies of citizenship and belonging.

  • A Souvenir of the Golden Jubilee of the Irish Carmelites in Zimbabwe
    A SOUVENIR OF THE GOLDEN JUBILEE OF THE IRISH CARMELITES IN ZIMBABWE 1946-1996 1 (COMPILED BY FR MICHAEL HENDER, O.CARM.) INTRODUCTION This Golden Jubilee booklet commemorates the work of Irish Carmelites during the past fifty years in Zimbabwe. The combined years of their missionary labour in Zimbabwe stretches well beyond one thousand years. To describe the work of over 1,000 years in a booklet of less than 30 pages presents many difficulties. The description has to be very sketchy, with many interesting details omitted. Each missionary contributed much and each was in many ways unique. The decision to provide personnel for missionary work in Africa was made by Provincial Carmel O’Shea. Fr. Conleth Fitzgerald became Provincial in 1946, so it was his task to implement it. Both of them were pleasantly surprised by the generous response of the brethren to their request for missionaries. It was over-subscribed. As Fr. Anselm Corbett recalls, when the time came for the Carmelites to assume responsibility for their first Mission, Triashill, their Jesuit predecessors were very gracious in facilitating them. Carmelites in Zimbabwe in the late 1950's: G. Meagher, S. Egan, M. McMahon, C. O'Shea, P. Martin, Monsignor D. Lamont, M. Hill, A. Corbett, J. O'Dwyer, C. Kennedy, S. Dunne (Above). In 1981 (right). The early missionaries, despite many problems, succeeded in creating a team spirit among themselves. That spirit persisted and is still strong today. No doubt the new generation of Zimbabwe-born Carmelites will have that same good brotherly characteristic which results from knowing that they are doing God’s work where ‘the harvest is great’ and that their strength comes from his Holy Spirit.
