Solomon Islands -
friendly people, says Salesian Bulletin
editor
HONIARA: 18th 2006
-- Fr Frank Freeman sdb, headmaster in Australia for some 40
years, and also editor of the Salesian Bulletin for at least half that period,
visited Solomon Islands in the first week of April. "It's
nice to know people can be so friendly, welcoming and content with what they
have", were his immediate reactions.
While in the country
he spent time with the Salesians, getting first-hand information on the work
with the people in their various settings. He was happy to visit Sali
village to celebrate the Eucharist and spend a relaxed day at Visale. The
cheerful seventy six year old priest also preached and animated the Salesians as
they made their monthly recollection. He reminded them to perform well the
simple things that can sometimes be forgotten. While in the country he
made a special visit to SIBC, Radio Happi Isles, PAOA FM and the Solomon
Star.
He had been the first Australian Salesian for some
time to visit the Solomon Islands from the Australian Province. An ardent
supporter of the media, he has boosted the work of Catholic Communications
Solomons through the support of the ACPA. The next Salesian Bulletin (AUL)
will proudly feature Solomon Islands and the different works the Salesians have
been involved in over the past 10 years.
The Australian
Salesian Bulletin is published five times a year with a circulation of 20,000,
and runs into 32 coloured pages. Many of the articles are based on family,
social issues and news.
