A Word from the Provincial A WORD FROM THE PROVINCIAL Dear Confreres, We have just finished the old year and find ourselves in a new year. This new year brings new hopes and dreams, or revives hopes and dreams that have faded away perhaps. This is good, from time to time we need to start anew. Our confreres are still sharing their Christmas and New Year joy. The German speaking confreres are having their party as I write these lines. Other groups have had or soon will have their parties and gatherings too. These events can encourage us on to do our best in this New Year. This Friday, as I write, January 15 we celebrate our Founder’s Feast Day. I hope all our communities and parishes will have something special to remember our Founder. Two weeks later we will celebrate the feast day of our first saintly missionary, Joseph Freinademetz. In the south we will also be celebrating Family Feast with our Holy Spirit Sisters at Madonna in Koforidua on the same day. All are invited. By now all of you should have received the resolutions, statements, etc. of the province chapter. We are still waiting to hear from Rome about our Vision and Mission Statements. It would be good for the various districts and houses to go through these documents in their meeting to see how they can be implemented. We were all shocked when we heard the news of Bishop Lucas Abadamloora’s death. It came just as we were about to begin our Christmas celebrations and festivities. We pray that the Good Lord has given him his well deserved reward. His burial will take place on January 16 in Navrongo. I would like to congratulate all our jubilarians this year. Those celebrating Bishop Vincent Boi-Nai will be celebrating forty years in vows. Celebrating forty years in the priesthood are: Fathers Konrad Dreyer, Patrick Ofori, John Schilitz and Andrew Campbell. Twenty-five years in vows are: Tomy Thomas, Raphael Mesi, and Henry Duah. Twenty-five years in the priesthood are: Joseph Mazur, Marek Kowalik, Andrew Quaye-Foli and Gabriel Kumordji. We will celebr ate with them on Family Feast and again on the actual date of their anniversary – or their anniversary celebration. Renovations of the DWCCC in Adoagyiri-Nsawam have begun. When they are finished we hope to start at the Guest House, perhaps after Easter. While renovations are going on rooms will be hard to get, but Tesano, the Book Centre, McCarthy Hill, and the new provincial house can all try to make some rooms available. Next month there will be an AFRAM Assembly in Lomé. Some confreres will be arriving and departing from Accra, the Gateway to West Africa. We have been busy trying to help them get their visas. May the Lord bless each and everyone of you during the course of this year. May all of us also give our best in the service of the Lord this year. Your confrere, Thomas D’Mello SVD Provincial 1 PROVINCE NEWS Memories of Fr. Clement Hotze, SVD Recently I again noticed a photo that I have of Fr. Clement H. Hotze, SVD (Society of the Divine Word), a missionary Priest who grew up in Leopold. I was prompted by this photo to look up his obituary again and to mention for the first time on paper a few things about this man most people do not know. He was born in Leopold on Oct. 6, 1920 to Bernard L. and Anna M. (Steinnerd) Hotze. He started his studies to the priesthood in 1934 in the SVD Seminary in Techny, Illinois. He was ordained in 1947 and was sent to Gold Coast in West Africa, now called Ghana. My first recollection of Fr. Clem is from around 1953 when on a home visit, he gave a talk to our school, one fall day before he was to return to Ghana. I mentioned to him, how sad it must be to leave home and go back to Africa. He replied that he was happy to go since Africa is his home now. I could not comprehend how he could feel this way until 12 or 13 years later when, as a peace Corps volunteer in 1965, I started teaching in St. Peter’s Secondary School , Nkwatia – Kwahu, Ghana, a school founded by Fr. Clement in 1957, the year that Ghana became independent from Britain. The people in Nkwatia asked for the school and donated nearly 30 acres of land on which it was to be built. It was an all boys secondary boarding school, around one quarter mile from the town, with the faculty living in small, but comfortable bungalows on campus. The faculty, including the missionaries at that time, was made up of teachers from Ghana, Syria, Canada, Haiti, Australia, Netherland s, Germany, Ireland, England and USA. The students were from all over Ghana. Now for Fr. Clem: there were four of us volunteer living in the same bungalow. One Saturday the van backed up to our front porch. The driver said that Fr. Clem wanted us to have new mattresses for our single beds. He unloaded four-inch soft, covered foam mattresses in trade for our one-inch ones, which were to be given to the students. We slept in luxury from then on. Payday was naturally a monthly highlight, not only for the pay but for the gathering of the faculty in the mission house for an evening of visiting and food. Near the end of one of these gatherings, after the closing down of the gasoline powered generator, Fr. Clem asked me to bring a lamp and follow him to his bed room so he could get money out of the safe to pay us. As he was opening the safe, I looked around. What did I see? A one-inch mattres s on his bed. We, the teacher got four-inch mattresses and Fr. Clem our principal did not. One day I needed to visit Fr. Clem. I went to the mission house and was told by another priest that Father was in the latrine. I said I would wait until he was finished. Then I was told I didn’t understand, he didn’t go to relieve himself in the latrine but, instead he was helping a school worker to clean it out. I went out to see him. There he was cheerfully working with the custodian, cleaning waste from the latrine, reminding me of the cleaning out of the outdoor toilets we had in the ‘good-old-days’ at home Leopold/Laflin. Fr. Clem the founder and the principal of the school was cleaning out a latrine and looking as if he enjoyed it. I believe he did enjoy working with the fellow whose usual job it was to do this lowly work. During the two years I spent in St. Peters, I never saw Father frown or hear him sass someone. Bruce a teacher from Canada dubbed him as “Father Smiley”. Another teacher, Gary, from England, was so pleased that Father encouraged him to produce a play with the students. These plays were acted out in the church, since there was no theater on campus. However soon there was to be a theater on campus. In order to save the duplication of lectures in biology, chemistry, and physics we brand-new, inexperienced, volunteer science teachers asked Fr. Clem is he would build a new science lecture theater. He wanted a design, which we gave him. Father was impressed and said he would look into raising the fund to build it. As we were leaving in June 1967, the science lecture theater 2 was almost complete. Father Clem reminds me of something I read about Mahatma Gandhi, when he was seeking the independence of India. He was asked by someone who all of those people were who were marching by. He said: “Those are my people, I must catch up with them for I am their leader”. That was father Clem, our leader who was behind us all the way. Fr. Clem died in Ghana where he lived for 53 years among the loving people there. After living with the people of Ghana, I could now understand what he told us in 1953, that Ghana was his home. He died in July 19, 2001. His body is buried alongside many other SVD Missionaries, in Adoagyiri, Nsawam, Ghana. His spirit lives on all the people who were privileged to know him. Bruce said “... it was Clem who best exemplified the work of Christ.” May we try to follow his ways. By James E. Landewe Springfield Mo. (This article was published on Wednesday, 4th Nov. 2009 in the Banner Press p. 9A, Marble Hill, 190) Advent Recollection Fr. Rafael Mesi, SVD leads Advent Recollection Fr. Rafael Mesi facilitated annual advent recollection for the SVDs in Ghana Province on 11th – 12 th December (first batch) and 14th -15th December (second batch) at Divine Word Catholic conference Center (DWCCC). In order to help the participants to recollect, he encouraged them to follow the program he put in place. Programme included: evening and morning prayer, silence and meditation, reflection talk, individual confessions, Holy Eucharist. In the ref lection talk , he started by asking a question: who is Jesus whose coming we shall prepare for? In answer to this , he enumerated the following: Jesus is provider of hope; he is God-man who is concern of our household; the healer of our maladies; the giver of sight to our blindness; the Emmanuel – God who is truly with us; the rock – sure foundation of our life; the reconciler who restore us to ourselves, to God and to others; and the precious gift from God whom we shall receive at Christmas.

    September 2019 Liebe Schwestern und Brüder! „Freut euch im Herrn zu jeder Zeit! Noch einmal sage ich: Freut euch!“, (Phil 4,4f.). Dieses Wort des Apostels Paulus könnte in der gegenwärtigen Kirchen- und Glaubenskrise ein Weck- und Mahnruf sein. Bei allen Problemen und Sorgen, die vorhanden sind, darf uns die Freude an Gott nicht verloren gehen. Die Freude, die ich meine, ist mehr als ein Lustig sein oder ein Lachen. Die Freude bedeutet auch nicht Spaß haben oder sich amüsieren, so schön diese Dinge auch sein mögen. Die wirkliche Freude kommt von innen, sie ist eine Lebenshaltung. Die Freude hat ihren letzten Grund in der Gegenwart Gottes. Wer Gott hat, hat die innere Freude. Der Glaube an Gott kann niemals traurig machen. Ausdruck des Glaubens ist die Freude. Papst Franziskus hat am 29.06. einen Brief „an das pilgernde Volk Gottes in Deutschland geschrieben“. Wir leben nicht nur in einer Zeit der Veränderungen, sondern in einer Zeitenwende, so der Papst. Der Heilige Vater warnt, dass es nicht damit getan ist, Modelle zu entwickeln, wie kirchliches Leben künftig aussehen soll. „Wenn wir uns dieser Versuchung nicht bewusst sind, enden wir leicht in einer komplizierten Reihe von Argumentationen, Analysen und Lösungen mit keiner anderen Wirkung, als uns von der wirklichen und täglichen Begegnung mit dem treuen Volk und dem Herrn fernzuhalten.“ Und weiter schreibt der Papst: die des Glaubens. Denn Freude kann Evangelisierung ist „ein Weg also, man nicht für sich behalten. Freude der einen Glauben ermöglicht, der strahlt aus. mit Freude gelebt, gefeiert und Diese Einladung des Heiligen bezeugt wird. Die Evangelisierung Vaters, die Freude des Glaubens führt uns dazu, die Freude am wiederzuentdecken, möchte ich an Evangelium wiederzugewinnen, die Sie alle weitergeben.

  • Spirituality of the Founding Generation
    Arnold Janssen Spirituality Center 2005 The Spirituality of our Founding Generation By Sr. Franziska Carolina Rehbein SSpS, Dr. Theol. Preface: This paper considers only the spirituality of the founder and co-foundresses themselves, that is, the spirituality of St. Arnold Janssen, Bl. Helena Stollenwerk, Mother Maria, and the Servant of God Hendrina Stenmanns, Mother Josepha. It does not take into account other members of the founding generation whose life and witness, as well as their mission experience or ministry in the home country had a contributing influence on the spirituality at the beginning. Among those we would number: Mother Maria Michaele, co-foundress of the Servants of the Holy Spirit of Perpetual Adoration, Bishop John Baptist Anzer, John Janssen, Brother Bernard, Nicolas Blum, Hermann Wegener, Hermann auf der Heide and numerous sisters, brothers and priests of the first generation. The reflections on St. Arnold Janssen have been drawn mainly from the book: Gripped by the Mystery – Arnold Janssen, Man of Prayer by Franziska C. Rehbein SSpS, published by Steyler Verlag, 2003, and the sources and references listed therein. Religious Background The religious background environment of Arnold Janssen and the founding generation takes us back to the mysticism of the Lower Rhineland. The blossoming of the “Devotio Moderna” deeply influenced Germany, especially the Lower Rhineland, the home area of Arnold Janssen and the co-foundresses of the religious-missionary congregations of Steyl. This nineteenth century spirituality was part of the so-called “modern spirituality” that was characterised by an affective and devotional nature. It was christocentric and trinitarian with an emphasis on the Incarnate Word.

  • Processie En Toeschouwers!
    Kloosterplein 10 4512275 [email protected] 11e jrg. - nr. 6 24 mei 2008 Dit parochieblad is bedoeld voor een periode van 5 weken. De volgende aflevering verschijnt 28 juni 2008. PROCESSIE EN TOESCHOUWERS! Probeer eens onder woorden te brengen wat processie nu eigenlijk inhoudt. U zult onderstaand een overzicht lezen van wat de officiële literatuur over processies zegt. Het opvallendste is wel: de toeschouwer. Er wordt geen woord gerept over toeschouwers. We lezen bij herhaling dat processies weer ‘in’ zijn, op vele plaatsen komen ze weer terug. In krantenverslagen lezen we dan dat er zovele belangstellenden langs de kant stonden. Verder lezen we dat men soms de kostbare schatten van de kerken toont aan alle belangstellenden die langs de kant staan te kijken, een soort lopend museum. Je hoort en ziet vele fotografen, mensen die met hun toestellen alles vastleggen. En later kan men op internet de hoeveelheid foto’s van al die processies bekijken. Geslaagd? Als pastoor waag ik dit te betwijfelen. Want waar gaat nu om? Daarom : PAROCHIEBLAD H. PETRUS EN H. MICHAËL – H. BERNADETTE – H. PAULUS 1 Uit de literatuur. Processie: eenvoudig gezegd is het een bedetocht om de godsvrucht onder de gelovigen te verlevendigen, om Gods weldaden te gedenken, Hem te bedanken en ook om Zijn hulp af te smeken. Het woord processie komt uit het Latijn en betekent: voortschrijden, uitgaan. We gaan dus als gelovigen op weg. En intussen houden we al die gebeden en gezangen waardoor we hopelijk tot het besef mogen komen dat we bij-woners zijn -niet be-woners, maar bij-woners: we wonen hier op aarde bij Iemand…- en dus zijn we gasten.

  • A History of Divine Word Missionaries in Ghana: 1938-2010
    University of Ghana http://ugspace.ug.edu.gh A HISTORY OF DIVINE WORD MISSIONARIES IN GHANA: 1938-2010 BY JOSEPH KWASI ADDAI (10328424) THIS THESIS IS SUBMITTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF GHANA, LEGON IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENT FOR THE AWARD OF M.PHIL RELIGIONS DEGREE JUNE, 2012 University of Ghana http://ugspace.ug.edu.gh DECLARATION This thesis, with the exception of materials quoted from other scholarly works which have been acknowledged fully, is the original production of research work by the researcher under the supervision of Rev. Prof. Cephas N. Omenyo and Rev. Fr. Dr. George Ossom- Batsa at the Department for the Study of Religions, University of Ghana. Any error in this thesis is fully acknowledged as the fault of the researcher. Signature: ………………………………. Date: …………………… Joseph Kwasi Addai (Student) Signature: ………………………………. Date: …………………… Rev. Prof. Rev. Prof. Cephas N. Omenyo (Supervisor) Signature: ………………………………. Date: …………………… Rev. Fr. Dr. George Ossom-Batsa (Supervisor) i University of Ghana http://ugspace.ug.edu.gh ABSTRACT The problem of this study was that, although the SVD missionaries have been a major partner in the evangelizing mission of the Roman Catholic Church in Ghana since their arrival in 1938, their specific contribution to the growth and development of the Catholic Church in Ghana has not been fully assessed. The objective of this thesis therefore is to appraise the missionary activities of the SVD within Ghanaian Catholic Church, and also assess their relevance in contemporary Ghanaian Christianity as a whole. Using the historical method and approach, chapter two traces the history of the SVD from the time of the arrival of the first two missionaries up to the time the mission was handed over to a diocesan bishop in 1971.
