Fr Larry Finnegan SVD
Dear Confreres,
As
you may have heard, Fr. Larry Finnegan, a long-time member of
the Chicago Province who served in the Caribbean, passed away
yesterday (Trinity Sunday). Fr. George Agger went to visit him
at the beginning of May and he shares the following information.
|
Photo SVD - Nemi 2011

“Fr. Larry died at 4.15 p.m. (Irish Time Sunday). He was brought
to Roscommon Hospital on Monday May 25th after a fall in his
room. No great damage, he was able to walk to the ambulance. His
energy was draining away very quickly, he was very weak. On
Wednesday he asked Fr. Pat Hogan (Rector, Donamon), “why is God
taking so long – I am ready.” By Friday he was in and out of
deep sleep, but alert on the occasions he was awake. He was in
no pain, he was comfortable. He was at peace with his God, and
with Himself – what greater blessing could one pray for! The
doctors told him he would fall asleep and die in his sleep,
without pain. That is how it happened.
“I am so happy I got to spend the first week of May with him.
That was probably his last good week. Still able to take a short
walk; go for a drive, have chats. The night before I left, we
had a prayer service with him – at his request. Together with
the three priests at Donamon, and Fr. Frank Power who was on
home leave, we sang the hymns he liked, read scripture, shared
prayers and gave him the Sacrament of the Sick. We ended up
sharing pizza (his favorite) in the community room – which he
was able to eat.
“Today, the Feast of the Most Holy Trinity, Larry was called
home, his work done. Today’s Gospel reminds us that (Jesus)
would be with us always – that’s all he promised, simply “I’ll
be with you always to the end of time – Just trust in me. Today
Larry is in the presence of his ABBA”. While we are sad, we
rejoice with Larry for having lived such a blessed life, for the
many lives he touched, for the great gift that was Fr. Larry to
us all.”

Padre Jesús Daniel López SVD

Escrito por Edil Paez -
Publicado el 01 Mayo 2015
El
apreciado y querido P. Jesús Daniel López, en horas de la mañana
de hoy, ha partido a la Casa del Señor. Fue un sacerdote
íntegro, carismático y por sobre todo, con espíritu de servicio,
entregado a la misión de Dios, con amor entregó a Él toda su
vocación y fidelidad como pastor por 55 años, tras sus huellas
dejó importantes obras pastorales y materiales. Muchas Gracias
Padre Jesús Daniel, Dios se lo pague por todo lo que hiciste por
nuestra Iglesia Católica. Disfrutes de la gloria eterna.
El Monseñor Francisco Javier Pistilli Scorzara, Obispo de la
Diócesis de Encarnación, solicita a los fieles acompañar con sus
oraciones por el descanso eterno del P. Jesús Daniel en su
morada celestial, al mismo tiempo, invita a acompañar al rezo de
cuerpo presente y posterior sepelio que se realizará mañana
sábado 2 de mayo a las 14:00 hs., en el Cementerio de la
Congregación Verbita de la ciudad de Obligado.
El Padre Jesús Daniel López el 8 de diciembre del 2014
cumplió 55 años de ordenación sacerdotal y 52 años de estadía en
Paraguay. Durante 26 años fue Vicario General de la Diócesis de
Encarnación. Hasta enero de este año fue párroco de la Parroquia
San Isidro, tiempo en que fue intervenido quirúrgicamente por
una grave enfermedad.
Ingresó a los 12 años al Seminario, un 3 de setiembre de
1945, en la Primera Casa que los Misioneros del Verbo Divino lo
tenía en Estella, España, lugar donde se encuentra la Editorial
que realiza la Biblia Latinoamericana y tantos otros libros que
difunden la palabra de Dios. Perteneció al primer grupo de
Misioneros del Verbo Divino de España, es por ello que a los 17
años y no teniendo un noviciado en España, fue a Roma a realizar
su noviciado, luego pasó a Alemania donde realizó cursos de
Teología y Filosofía, país donde fue ordenado sacerdote por un
Obispo de origen chino Monseñor Vitus Chan, de la Congregación
del Verbo Divino, hecho acaecido el 8 de diciembre de 1959. Fue
en Alemania donde realizó sus primeras experiencias. Estando en
Alemania, un 10 de marzo durante la fiesta de San José, recibió
el destino a Paraguay. Legó al país el 4 de mayo de 1961.

Dear Confreres and friends,
It is with great sadness that I inform you that Fr. Henry
Nikel passed away in the early hours of today after having
health problems for quite a few years.
As his health started to decline, Fr. Henry Nikel decided to
retire in Poland after spending approximately 40 years here in
Australia, most of the time he spent ministering in the Diocese
of Ballarat. Fr. Henry left Australia in mid-2014 and hence his
retirement in Poland was quite short.
Details of his funeral will be sent to us in the next few
days, in the meantime I ask you all to remember our brother
Henry in our prayers and also to pray for his family at this
very sad time.
In the Word –
Henry Adler, SVD

RIP Fr Henryk Nikel – missionary to Australia
and PNG
Fr
Henryk (Henry) Nikel, a missionary to Papua New Guinea and
Australia for many years, died in his home country of Poland on
March 4, 2015 at the age of 78.
Fr Henry had returned home to
take up his retirement at St Joseph Mission House in Górna
Grupa, in 2014.
He was born on December 21, 1937 in Rybnik,
Poland, to Leonard Nikel and Elisabeth, nee Macura. After his
matura exam in 1956, he entered the Society of the Divine Word
in Pieniezno, where he started his spiritual and intellectual
formation. He entered the novitiate on September 8 of the same
year, also in Pieniezno, and on September 8, 1959, he pronounced
his first vows. Fr Henry took his final vows on September 8,
1963, and was ordained a deacon on December 22 of the same year.
He was ordained a priest on May 10, 1964, by Bishop Józef
Drzazga of Warmia in Pieniezno. After his ordination, he was
sent for a pastoral year to Rybnik. From 1965-1967, he was
appointed assistant of the parish priest of Saints Peter and
Paul in Pieniezno.
Fr Henry received his mission assignment
for Australia on September 13, 1967, and worked here until 1971.
Later on, he was sent to the mission frontiers of Papua New
Guinea, where he worked for about 10 years. He returned to
Australia in 1980 and took up pastoral work, among other things
working on behalf of the bishop of the Diocese of Ballarat. For
many years, he was served the Polish community in Australia and
also celebrated Masses in Latin.
In January 2014, after many
years of missionary service, Fr Henry returned to the Polish
Province for his merited retirement. He took up residence at the
Mission House in Górna Grupa and, on May 10 of that year, along
with his classmate, Fr Joseph Sudolski, he celebrated the 50th
anniversary of priesthood. Fr Henry will be remembered as a
cheerful and friendly person, always open to other people. His
funeral was held at St Joseph Mission House in Górna Grupa and
he was buried at the Mission House cemetery.

Oggi 5 gennaio 2015 alle ore 19.30
è tornato alla Casa del Padre il nostro confratello
P. Valerio Pertoldi SVD
30 45 47 53 54
I funerali si celebreranno
Giovedì 8 gennaio 2015 alle ore 15.00
Nella Chiesa parrocchiale Annunciazione di Maria di Varone
Ricordiamolo nelle nostre preghiere !
In memoria di
P. VALERIO PERTOLDI SVD
MISSIONARIO VERBITA
P.
Valerio Pertoldi nacque il giorno 11.I.1930, in un paese del
Friuli di vita e tradizioni cattoliche, Lestizza in provincia di
Udine, da una famiglia numerosa; dei sei figli due divennero
sacerdoti.
La fanciullezza la trascorse nel suo paese ma già a 10 anni è
stato alunno dai Missionari Verbiti di Varone. Tempi molto duri
in quell’ottobre del 1940, quando assieme ad un folto gruppo di
ragazzini frequentò le scuole medie e superiori interne dei
Missionari Verbiti, dove oltre allo studio intenso, ricevette
una educazione profonda, base per tutta la sua vita, pur nelle
difficoltà economiche e sociali della seconda guerra mondiale.
 Dopo
il noviziato vissuto a Roma negli anni 1945-47, ebbe la fortuna
di frequentare la filosofia e teologia a St. Gabriel Mödling,
vicino a Vienna, Austria, dove oltre all’apprendimento della
lingua tedesca esisteva una scuola teologica rinomata nel mondo,
con tante iniziative e illuminata dalla scuola antropologica e
etnologica: un prezioso tesoro della congregazione dei
Missionari Verbiti. Sono stati anni che P. Valerio ricordava
spesso con tanta nostalgia e riconoscenza, che hanno preparato
la sua mentalità di fine studioso e futuro insegnante. Difatti,
dopo l’ordinazione sacerdotale, avvenuta nel 1954 a St. Gabriel,
venne subito richiesto come insegnante a Varone dove rimase
attivo fino al 1960. Quindi, avendo la congregazione bisogno di
confratelli culturalmente e linguisticamente preparati, venne
trasferito alla Nunziatura di Bonn per assumere il ruolo di
segretario e quindi, quattro anni dopo fu chiamato a Roma come
segretario nella direzione generale dei Verbiti.
Dal 1966 al 1989, riprese la sua vocazione principale, cioè
l’insegnamento prima a Varone poi nel liceo Calvi di Padova.
Sono stati gli anni nei quali si è dedicato alla formazione di
molti giovani mettendo a disposizione la sua molteplice cultura
e capacità, riconosciute a apprezzate da molti colleghi e
ricordate poi nel tempo da molti suoi studenti. Nel frattempo
non ha mai abbandonato anche un servizio pastorale nelle
parrocchie, un servizio che svolgeva con regolarità e impegno.
Soleva affermare che per un sacerdote non è sufficiente
coltivare la cultura, è sempre necessaria anche una attività
pastorale e un rapporto umano formativo cristiano.
Giunti gli anni della pensione si trasferì a Varone dove dal
1990 assunse come parroco la comunità cristiana di Ville del
Monte. Anche qui profuse molto impegno e riuscì a entrare in
sintonia con tutti, allacciando relazioni fraterne e umane,
promovendo le tradizioni locali, divenendo punto di riferimento
di quella comunità. Sono stati anni vissuti in pienezza e che
hanno riempito la sua esistenza sacerdotale e missionaria.
Al sopraggiungere della età della rinuncia, i fatidici 75 anni,
un passo non sempre facile, P. Valerio condusse una vita più
ritirata nella comunità verbita di Varone, pur rimanendo vivo il
suo interesse culturale, di fervido lettore e di interessato
ricercatore di diversi argomenti, dei quali offriva anche i
frutti agli amici e conoscenti.
Negli ultimi due anni si è notato un veloce peggioramento della
salute, con diversi acciacchi che gli impedivano di svolgere le
sue occupazioni come nel passato. Una settimana prima della
morte una ischemia cerebrale l’ha colpito e da quel momento ha
lottato pur non potendo più comunicare con nessuno, finché nella
serata del 05 gennaio 2015, pochi giorni prima del suo 85mo anno
Dio l’ha chiamato a se. A tutti rimane un ricordo riconoscente
per quanto ha fatto nella congregazione e per il bene di tanti
giovani e delle comunità cristiane dove ha profuso il suo
impegno.
