Thank you for your th...(EDITed to remove my errors)<br />Thank you for your thought provoking comments Anonymous. I will consult the Headmaster and post again. Meanwhile my preference would have been for the classrooms' naming to have the commemorated the more modern Jesuit martyrs of El Salvador murdered in November 1989 along with their cook. The kitchen plays a large part in Donhead life so including the names of the murdered cook and her daughter along with the 6 Jesuits would have been quite fitting. Some of the Jesuits were I think seminarians and attended the Central American University so would be relevant as Donhead role modelsmaytreeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16718016285993243848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32652391.post-88529090522350017902010-11-05T02:47:47.373+00:002010-11-05T02:47:47.373+00:00Just to add that nothing in the above should imply...Just to add that nothing in the above should imply any criticism of Archbishop Smith, who seems to be one of our more savvy prelates, with a commendable facility for dealing with the press.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32652391.post-37608011430791442732010-11-05T02:35:16.884+00:002010-11-05T02:35:16.884+00:00I was surprised about this, not that I have anythi...I was surprised about this, not that I have anything against St John Berchmans, but given that he is already the patron saint of a Jesuit school, perhaps they should have spread the honours a bit. St Stanislaus Kostka comes to mind. Since his previous patronage was so rudely interrupted, it would seem only polite. <br /><br />As an interesting aside, I googled Jesuit saints when I saw your post, and if the list is to be believed, all of them bar one were between 1552 and 1628. The anomaly was a St. Modeste Andlauer in 1900. Given their number and activity, this seems extraordinary.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
