  • THE MARYKNOLL SOCIETY and the FUTURE a PROPOSAL William B
    THE MARYKNOLL SOCIETY AND THE FUTURE A PROPOSAL William B. Frazier MM As the third Christian millennium unfolds, Society members are well aware that our numbers are steadily declining. Regions are merging, promotion houses are closing, and efforts are being made to tighten the structures of leadership. The occasion of this paper is an awareness that another step may need to be taken to deal realistically with the situation in which we find ourselves today. Some Society-wide reflection needs to begin regarding the fu- ture of the Society as a whole. In addition to the measures now being taken to right-size and restructure ourselves, should there not be an effort to develop some contingency plans aimed at a time when we might be reduced to a to- ken presence in the countries and peoples we now serve and have such a step forced upon us? What follows is a pro- posal to get the membership thinking about the future of Maryknoll in terms that go beyond the internal adjusting currently under way. On every level of the Society we need to surface scenarios about the Society’s future in face of the possibil- ity of severely reduced membership. It is a matter of preparing ourselves in advance for a series of developments beyond our control, developments that will no longer yield to more and better intra-Societal adjustments. In order to put some flesh on these bones, let me present two scenarios that might be considered. Scenario #1 The Maryknoll Society would remain basically what it is at present and would learn to live and be produc- tive with relatively few permanent members.

CAGGIANO On June 2, I had the privilege to participate in two Eucharistic processions to commemorate the Feast of Corpus Christi. The first was held at St. John Church in Darien, following the 11:30 am Mass. The other was a procession for the deanery of Norwalk, Darien and New Canaan that originated at St. Matthew Church and extended over two miles to Norwalk Community College. This procession was attended by over 400 people. Both processions were a beauti- ful public testimony of our Catholic faith in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.

  • Maryknoll in Africa Chapter Twelve
    91 MARYKNOLL IN AFRICA CHAPTER TWELVE SHINYANGA DIOCESE, EASTERN PARISHES FROM 1961 TO THE PRESENT GULA, ST. FRANCIS XAVIER PARISH: In Volume Two, Chapter Five on the original six parishes in which the Maryknoll priests started work in Shinyanga in 1954, its work in Gula was covered from pages 359 to 372. It took the history up to October, 1963, when Fr. Walt Stinson was transferred to Ng’wanangi-Nassa and Fr. John Lange was assigned to Gula as pastor in Stinson’s place. Stinson had an unpleasant confrontation with people at a government meeting, unfortunately instigated by Stinson. The government officials brought a charge against him to Fr. Charles Liberatore, the pastor in Nyalikungu at that time. (Bishop Edward McGurkin was in Rome for the Vatican Council, so apparently Liberatore was administering the diocese in McGurkin’s absence.) Stinson moved to Ng’wanangi but in 1964 he returned permanently to the United States. Lange had been ordained in 1958 and worked on Promotion in Minneapolis for four years. In 1962 he was assigned to Tanzania, to Shinyanga Diocese, and studied Kisukuma at the so-called language school in Shinyanga Town, in the house adjacent to the rectory. Fr. Castor Sekwa was assigned to be Lange’s tutor in Kisukuma. Due to the preponderance of Kiswahili in the town, Lange and Sekwa moved to Mipa for some months and then to Bugisi, where Sekwa was needed to cover the parish while Fr. Dick McGarr was on leave. When McGarr returned, Sekwa was transferred elsewhere and Lange remained in Bugisi with McGarr.
