Recent Travellers to the Marianist Community

Bro. Tom Wendorf, a Marianist Brother from the U.S., recently spent some time with the community before journeying to do missionary work in India. Tom is an professor of English at the University of Dayton. During the next two months he will be teaching the young Indian Brothers living near Bangalore.

Bro. Gerry McAuley is also on the move as he begins his sabbatical from his work here, studying and living in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

We wish them both well in their work and travels.
