Br Andrew to be focus of Farm retreat ■ By Sylvia Defendi
The Australian man who was co-founder of Mother Teresa’s Missionary Brothers of Charity, will be honoured on the sixth anniversary of his passing with a unique retreat held at God’s Farm in Gracewood from October 6 to 8. Br Andrew, who enlisted 500 Brothers of Charity across the globe, regularly visited God’s Farm and gave annual retreats for 12 years before his death on the feast of St Francis of Assisi in 2000. In remembrance of Br Andrew’s extraordinary character the October retreat will feature the words of Sr Eliezer, a Missionary Sister of Charity, who knew Br Andrew well and assisted him in his last days.
