Dear Fr. Abbot,
Congratulations and good work, I am glad that you have been chosen to lead the Monastery.
I know that it is a hard and demanding work, but with God’s help, and of course, your fellow clergy you will do an excellent tenure.
Be sure that this Circular and those that went to the Abbey School will support you.
If you have news that you would like to spread, please feel free to write me.
God Bless

Dear Ladislao,
Keep up the good work! Your circulars find a lot of interest at the Abbey, especially among some of the older monks.
The Abbey School is an integral part of our history and I encourage you to continue seeking out the people and the stories that made it happen.
Yours truly,
Abbot John (fifth Abbot of Mount St Benedict)

Hi Laszlo,
Thank you for your reply. I attended MSB back in the year 1948 when I was a seminarian at St. John Vianney. The main reason was to catch up on my Latin for in those days that was the language of the church. Most of my schooling was done in Guyana where I graduated from high school. During my time at the Mount some of my classmates were Osmond Gomes (since
dec'd), Fr Vincent Compton, Bernard Gomes, Cecil DaSilva. Just to name a few. A lot of my contempories I have lost touch with for obvious reasons. There is a Latin phrase that describes it adequately, i.e. Tempus Fugit. However, there are memories of the school that will live on forever and I thank God for them, and the many good priests that laboured to make us the men we are today.
I am retired after may years as a lawyer in my own practice and still find time to volunteer in ministry during the winter in the Caribbean. Thank God for that!
So much for me and my escapades.
God bless you and your family. Keep up the good work you are doing!
Ian

Lad, thank you for your reply. No, Fr. Francis did not contact me, neither did I get in touch with him, since my mail to him was refused and there it stands.
God bless!
