Merry Christmas . . . 
As we share this time of Peace, Joy, Goodwill and Happiness, let is remember whose birthday we really celebrate, Jesus, and what he represents. 
Spare a Prayer, or more if you can, for those who by circumstance, cannot celebrate. Be that circumstance family matters, financial difficulties, conflict, bereavement etc. 
Just as The Virgin gave birth 2000 years ago, let us now give birth to The Saviour in our hearts, be our guiding star and banish the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse out of our hearts and minds. 
Let that Light, born in the humblest of circumstance, shine in our thoughts and actions the whole year through. 
Merry Christmas . . . . 
God’s Blessings . . . .
Chandra Teelucksingh

Hi Angel,
the Abbey alumni is getting very interesting, I am in touch with an 'old boy' from Toronto area who is doing a data base and updates with all the past students of the Abbey so I forwarded your email to him.
There is another brother ( Venezuelan) who is coming to Montreal in early June and wants to hook up with us.  
I am sure that you might know him he was there from 67-74 his name Salvador Coscarart.
Don't forget to come by my school over the weekend..Fridays from 7pm and Saturdays and Sundays from 4pm ..address 3740 De Courtrai in Côte des Neiges near the shopping mall.
I mentioned about a Martial Arts program and everyone seems to be excited about that..all for now stay well

Ladislao,
Thanks for the memories of one of the nicest men I have ever met. 
I will never forget what he did for me my first day at Mount.
As I recall it was a cool breezy Saturday night, school had opened the week before but I had arrived late because of the "Asian flu". 
Old boys will remember the loneliness of their first night. 
I was standing on the curb just outside the Prep A classroom, facing the volley ball court. 
For some reason there was no movie that night. 
Everyone and their brother, and how many brother pairs have there been at Mount, was running around and having a great time. 
"Brother Vincent", as usual surrounded by a gaggle of talking, laughing boys, was sitting down opposite me when he looked up and noticed I was alone (and about to bus' a cry). 
He called out to me to come over. 
I did not move, I was so intimidated by all of those happy, smiling faces. 
He then told someone, I think it was Esmund Lange, to go over to me and bring me over to the group. 
As I came over he moved aside, smiled and I can still see that smile, and motioned to me to sit down at his side.   
I can't recall joining in with the old talk but every now and then he would turn and include me in the conversation. 
The loneliness subsided for a little while. 
What he did was pure kindness.
Nothing else. 
He didn't have to do it. 
He could just have smiled across the court and gone about his business and that would have been plenty. 
He took the extra step and I have never forgotten that.   
David
