Maurice writes : ' This is Oak Lodge sometime in winter 71-2 I think. I was i/c cutting the grass. This is taken from near the pond, which disappeared when the new St Edward's was built. It was here that I lost control on wet grass and sailed majestically into the home of the newts and sticklebacks. It was a very heavy mower! '

' . . . . Kubrick filmed part of the clockwork orange at St Edward's. The bits in the young offenders' unit, naturally. The scene that caused us the most inconvenience was cut - warders marching the new inmate along the M1 main corridor ! '

 

Just recently (January 2005), Fr Michel Groiselle,
webmaster for the White Fathers' international website,
provided his visitors with a link to our own site. Within a day
we had a message from Patrick Odhiambo.

Patrick writes :
"I am in Toulouse where I am being taught Theology
in French. I learnt the language during the Spiritual year of my
formation which I spent in Burkina Faso (2001-2002). I am just
coming to the end of my initial formation.
 
Having taken the oath and been ordained a deacon
last December, I am preparing for ordination as a
priest later this year . . . . Father Aylward Shorter
(on the right) was my teacher in Kenya."
