In late 1979, the bishop of the Marsabit diocese, Bishop Charles Cavallera, sent an old Italian missionary priest to Rome to inquire of the religious congregations and see if anyone might be interested in helping in a small, rural diocese in Kenya to form and educate young pastoralists for the priesthood.
Leadville, Colorado...Revisited!
When giving an update as to what is happening in Leadville, Colorado, we must first give some perspective on the geography. Denver is known as the "one-mile" city. Leadville is known as the "two-mile" city...at 10,200 feet in the heart of the Rockies. (It is a great place to live if you like snow, lots of it, and cold, lots of that too! And a small town too...this evidences when the front page of the paper's big news story features a large photo of a new town sign!)
African Novices Find A Home In St. Louis
We are pleased to introduce you to the six east African novices who are making their seminary year at the Vincentian residence in St. Louis. They were received into the community at the Provincial Assembly on June 17, 2003. They will remain in the States until next June when they will all return to DePaul Centre in Kenya to continue their theological studies at Tangaza College in Nairobi. Below are their comments about their time here thus far:
Welcome Tom Beck!
