" Totteridge: the rugby team, 1960-61"

Maurice Billingsley writes (January 2011) :

Rugby team: 1st L back row: Pierre Federle, now at Paris house, formerly
Petit Echo editor. Christofer Mwoleka also known as 'the barefoot bishop';

Andre Filion says that Christofer spent a lot of time
in the villages in his diocese, among the people.

" Totteridge: Ordinations 1962
Everyone was ordained in their home country : my Dutch class went to Holland from France, Belgium,
England and Canada — and were ordained in two groups of 8, north and south (Sautpoort and Breda) for
'propaganda' purposes. Numbers were dwindling. Originally, we were a group of 16, but every year this reduced
in size. The African on the left was the future Mgr Christofer Mwoleka of Rulenge, Tanzania. "

Jan adds "Archives must have the names of all these Ordinands."

" Totteridge: Christmas in the Marketplace, 1961"
Jan has offered these names: Jan Spierings, Vic Missean, Frank Americ, Pick Kramer (a Canadian)—
but I am not sure that I have interpreted his handwriting correctly.
