SPEAKER: Brother John from Maryknoll, did his elementary and high school
in Hempstead Long Island, then an associate degree from Westchester
Community College, then a BS in Adult Education from the Royal College at
Maryknoll, spoke about his work as a missionary in Central America for the
Catholic Church.
SUMMARY OF TALK
He had polio as a kid so now walks with a limp, but respects Rotary for
work done on international polio. He conducts tours at Maryknoll. In
Central America he studied and speaks Spanish, and is happy to be here
since he spoke to Rotary in Briarcliff Manor in past. He spoke about
Catholic Church doing goodwill around the world and his relationship with
Maryknoll. It is important to learn how to communicate. English words have
different meanings in different parts of Central America.
