Brothers in Malawi Province gathered at the Provincial House, Bethel

Community, on 11th July to commemorate the Foundation Day of FIC

Congregation in Malawi. Sixty one (61) years have passed now when the first

brothers arrived in Malawi to start their mission. The first group of brothers:

Bros. Agnus Janssen, Bosco Hendrix, Wilhelm Van Bekel and Tarcisio Van

Raaij arrived in Malawi on 11th July 1960. The second group: Bros. Harry

Muselaers, Aloysio van Broek, Gerard van Breukelen (also known as

Nicodemus), Wilhelm Konings and Theodotus Bosman arrived on 16th and 17th

September 1960. They came at the request of the Dutch Montfort Fathers

through Bishop, Monsignor J. Theunissen. Their mission was to take over

Mzedi Junior Secondary School (now called St. Patrick’s Boys Secondary

School) from Xaverian Brothers and to build a Catholic Teachers Training

college in Maryview – Nguludi (now Catholic University of Malawi).
