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.
