Two stu dents of the Latin School, Mr, Michael Schaff and Mr, Thomas Bamhardt, will be entering the minor seminary this Septem ber at Saint Charles Seminary, Baltimore, Maryland. Baseball, Picnics, Football With A Swedish Accent of intensive study and discus sion, an hour devoted to the showing of filmstrips and tapes, and an hour for student re ports. Topics for these reports were taken from pamphlets ex plaining the Trinity, the Holy Eucharist, Penance, and the Legion of Decency. On the last day, the older students held a panel discussion on Vatican Council II, with an explanation of the history andmeaning of the ecumenical council and a dis cussion of the Constitution on the Liturgy, the promulgation of the last session of Vatican II Another group of students dis cussed Pope John XXM*s last great encyclical, Pacem in Terris and a pamphlet en titled '"Questions of a Baptist Minister,” a dialogue between the late Archbishop Gerald P.

The girls stayed at the parish house in Monroe during the week and carried out their work using both the mission’s Chapel and the house for the sessions.

THE OBLATE FATHERS BOX 47 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 FAIRHAVEN SCHOOL 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.
