The author, from the parish of St Julian de Cuenca, Janiuay, Iloilo, a seminarian of the Mill Hill Missionaries (www.millhill-missionaries.net), is continuing his studies in Nairobi, Kenya.

After two years of theological studies at the Missionary Institute, London, England, I was sent to Witu Parish, Malindi Diocese, Kenya, in August 2003 for a two-year mission experience. The aim of the program is to give missionary students a foretaste of real life in the mission. It gives an individual student an opportunity to properly discern his vocation before making a lifetime commitment to missionary life.

Five years ago, Jesuit Seminarian Richie Fernando was killed in a landmine rehabilitation center in Cambodia. In his attempt to stop a crazed student throwing a grenade at some of the already handicapped inmates, he prevented their death but was killed himself. We have a poem written by his friend Argee Guevarra in memory of Richie’s action.

Bishops Cornelius Kipng’eno Arap Korir, the bishops of the Diocese of Eldoret, had made an urgent appeal to the SVD Superior in Rome to send a missionary to help out in the chaplaincy work of his diocese several years ago. His request was finally granted and Fr. Jerome Cayetano was sent to Kenya in 1996.
