A TRIBUTE FROM MR TON VOORTMAN OF THE NETHERLANDS It was with profound sorrow that I received the news of the passing of my dear friend, Brother Augustine Kubdaar, on 4 January last. Although we were all aware of his illness, his death nonetheless came as a great shock and has deeply affected us all. From the moment of my first visit to Ghana at the end of 1995, I had the privilege of knowing Brother Augustine in various ....

TRIBUTE BY STEPHEN NANYELE TO THE LATE REV. BR. AUGUSTINE KUBDAAR, FIC I write this tribute with a heart still struggling to accept the silence you have left behind. The news of your death struck me with deep shock, leaving me dazed and unbelieving. When the confirmation came, I cried out in disbelief, and my household felt the weight of that moment with me.

MY TRIBUTE TO BR. AUGUSTINE KUBDAAR (People Like You) I met Brother Augustine in 2015 at the Loreto Convent, Nairobi, when I was a second-year novice and he was pursuing his studies at SIU–Kenya. Br. Augustine Kubdaar was a person whose life spoke quietly but powerfully. Through his words, actions, and example, he showed what it truly means to live with humility, dedication, and genuine care for others. He never sought recognition, yet his presence left a lasting impression on everyone who had ....

The Big Move (Part Three).   We recently collectively exchanged the Beyart chapel chairs with the chairs from the estate (the Schark). With two cars, we had to make several trips back and forth because not many chairs with backs fit in one car. (See photographs) But everything went well. Now we still need to place a few cabinets that we selected along with the chairs, and then the movers only need to enter the Beyart at two places. The ....

Pengalaman akan Allah Br. Venantius Sartana Melodi Ilahi dalam Hidupku Perjalanan hidupnya laksana tembang. Begitulah yang tersirat ketika Br. Venantius Sartana yang akrab dipanggil Br. Venant menuturkan kisah hidupnya. Peristiwa-peristiwa hidupnya bagai nada-nada yang terpilih. Nada-nada itu berjalin ditata elok oleh Yang Agung. Rangkaian nada terpilih itu menjadi tembang kehidupannya. Bruder Venant lahir dalam keluarga muslim. Ibunya seorang penghayat iman yang setia. Beliau setia melakukan doa-doa harian. Sementara, penghayatan iman ayahnya tidak sebagus ibunya. “Ayah saya tidak sangat menampakkan kereligiusannya. Beliau ....

The Big Move (Part Two) As I mentioned, we selected the furniture for the common room. But that didn’t happen just like that. For example, we had good, sturdy wooden tables for the dining hall at the PBS, but chairs with armrests don’t fit underneath them. Most of the chairs we have are table chairs with armrests. So what should we do—buy new tables or buy new chairs? After some discussion, we assumed that nothing new would be purchased. So the ....
