THE OBLATE FATHERS

ROSLAGS NASBY
SWEDEN
JULY 1964
Nearly five months have pass
ed since my last NEWSLETTER
from SWEDEN. As usual, many
things have happened during
those months, and this is my way
of trying to keep in touch and
to let you learn a little more
about this little weed patch in
the garden of God’s Church.
began through the initiative of
the ministers of the Swedish
Church's parish. They invited
all of the other ministers, in
cluding Father Schoeberle and
myself, to an evening of discus
sion and sociability. Besides the
four Swedish Church ministers
there were present the Baptist
pastor, the pastor of the Cove
nant Church and of the Estonian
Church. We felt that such a go<
beginning should be continued,
and so invited them to come
our house, which they did on
April 19. We invited 14 var
ious min
eluding Father Schoeberle and
myself, to an evening of discus
sion and sociability. Besides the
four Swedish Church ministers,
there were present the Baptist
pastor, the pastor of the Cove
nant Church and of the Estonian
Church, We felt that such a good
beginning should be continued,
and so invited them to come to
our house, which they did on
April 19. We invited 14 var
ious ministers and seven came.
I showed them slide pictures of
the events of the Vatican Coun
cil, in which they had a keen in
terest. One of them had been
received in audience by Pope
John a year or so previously,
and he was very proud of that.
After the slide program, we i
enjoyed an evening of informal
and friendly discussion around
the dinner table. This contact
is a good thing, and God will
surely show us the way to great
er unity if we do our part.
Recent parish activity has in
cluded a parish family picnic.
This may not sound very news
worthy, but it was the first, so
far as I know, in the Stockholm
area. We were blessed wlthab-
solutely perfect weather and a
good crowd showed up. After a
nine o'clock Mass in the chapel,
we drove to the picnic grounds
just a few miles away. A couple
of our American families
brought their baseball equip
ment and this proved to be the
making of the sport of the day —
—even for the girls I Some rough
and ready touch football was al
so played, but here the men and
boys had it to themselves. The
“non - Americans” enjoyed
these New World sports as much
as anyone, and one of our Ger
man men quickly developed in
to a minor league Harmon Kllle-
brew. This day of fun helped to
bring us al. closertogetherasa
parish -— everyone agreed on
that.
ON MAY 10 we celebrated
First Communion Day for four
boys and two girls. Although the
ceremony was not previously
announced, it attracted our
largest crowd to date. I did not
announce this because I feared
so many would come that it
would be impossible for many
to even get near the chapel.
First Communion Day (as well
as Baptism Day) is a big family
feast. Many relatives and
friends come to the Mass and
then spend the day together.
The pastor is expected to make
an appearance at the home,
have his picture taken, and
drink at least one glass of wine.
Father Hojenski, whose arri
val was announced in my last
letter, has returned to the
U.S.A. after a few short weeks
because of poor health. He and
we were very disappointed, for
he would have been a great as
set to the work here. But God
is still disposing of what man
proposes, as we all know. Fath
er’s health is reported to be im
proving at his new post in St.
Paul, Minn. Perhaps to com
pensate for this loss, our Fath
er General is sending us two
priests in September, You might
know Father Don Dietz, OMI,
who for the past seven years
has taught at our scholastlcate
in Mississippi, and Father
James Mysenberg, OMI, or
dained in ’63 and a teacher in
Duluth, Minn, With their arri
val, our mission will be able to
begin its primary task — that
is, to establish the Church in
the far north of the country.
This means that Father Schoe
berle will be leaving me very
soon in order to start this pio
neer work. Besides a little
Volkswagen he has nothing in
the way of material help — no
place to live, no place for a
chapel. He is going in the spirit
of the missionaries of earlier
years. We have a very recent -
and continuing - example to in
spire us. I mean the story of
the work of our confrers in
Greenland, where Father Kil
leen is still living in a tent. As
our good Novice Master, Fr,
Kievel, used to say, “An Ob
late can not expect his bed to be
made up for him all of the
time,”
DUE TO the generosity of a
young couple who are vitally in
terested in our work, we have
been able to buy a very fine
used Volkswagen bus at half
its psual valuation, thus
releasing our little car for Fr,
Schoeberle’s use in the north,
this bus gives us a much more
efficient means to pick up the
Children for their weekly cate
chism lessons .... God bless

such generosity.
“All things come to those
who wait”. So to us. We now
have a part-time housekeeperl
She is Swedish, a wizard in
languages, and a practical cook.
All this means that she is a
great help to us. Father Schoe
berle did develop into a chef
during his year as boss in the
kitchen, but I doubt that he is
unwilling to lay aside his apron.
His time off will be short, and
I suspect that the apron will be
packed up for his new post fur
ther north,
WE HAVE just learned that
our Superior General, Father
Leo Deschatelets, ONfl, will
visit Sweden for the first time
this summer. Although his visit
will be necessarily short, we
know that it will mean a great
to the Oblate mission. Father
General’s duties take him all
over the world, and he has al
ways used these trips in order
to learn to know personally as
many of his 8000 Oblates as
possible. I first met him in
Rome in 1953, just before I en
tered the Congregation, and he
remembered me several years
later during a visit to our sem
inary, His concern for Sweden
is real, and his radiant opti
mism will remain long after his
departure.
Finally, I want to express my
thanks to those who have re
membered us and our work in so
many ways. Of course you all
know that the difficulties are
real, the progress slow, the fu
ture uncertain, but we are sure
that we were sent here for a
great purpose. All we can do
is our best and that in
cludes having lot§ and lots of
patience. The Swedes have many
virtues, but the overwhelming
majority lack a deep ssense of
the spiritual realities. It seems
paradoxical that we, who are
supposed to be spiritual men,
and are here to try and lift
these people above their ex
cessive interest in material and
bodily interest, must be so lim
ited in our work by our own lack
of material needs. God writes
straight with crooked lines —
and I think that this situation
is one of His most crooked I
May He bless all of you who
are helping us follow His de
signs for Sweden.
Sincerely in Our Lord
and Mary Immaculate,
