5/ Missionaries Sail for Africa On Tuesday last, May 21,
fifty missionary priests and one lay-brother set out from St. Joseph's College, Mill Hill, N.W.7, to join the largest group of missionaries ever to leave this country for Africa. They sailed the same day from Southampton on Fencer.
The Mill Hill party included twentyfive Mill Hill Fathers and the same number of Holy Ghost Fathers. Thirteen of the Mill Hill Fathers are to work in the Vitetriate of the Upper Nile, Uganda, and twelve are destined for the Vicariate of Kisumu, Kenya Colony.
Their departure brings the number of missionaries who Save left Mill Hill for different mission fields, since last autumn, to the grand total of seventythree.
This includes fourteen for the Cameroons, British West Africa; eleven for the Punjab and Nellore, India; seven for the Belgian Congo: six for Borneo and Sarawak ; two for Kodok, in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan ; and eight who left for East Africa in February.
The twenty-five Holy Ghost Fathers who sailed on the same ship are members of the Dutch Province of the Congregation. They spent the week-end at Mill Hill en route for their future field of work in the Vicariate of Bagamoyo, Tanganyika.
