t TOTUS TUUS Dear Students, I am appreciative of your thoughtful sentiments and prayerful support. I am pleased to know that the teaching staff of your high school has chosen “Justice and Peace” as the theme for the school year. I assure you of my prayers and cordially impart to you and all those associated with you in your message, my Apostolic Blessing. Your brother in Christ Joannes Paulus P.P. II. ... Chirst is our Justice and our Peace, and all our works of justice and peace draw from this source. We must resolutely commit ourselves to the service of individuals and of people - for Christ urges us to do so • . . . scripture tells us that Lazarus found consolation, but that the rich man found torment. Was the rich man condemned because he had riches, because he abounded in earthly possessions? . . . The rich man was condemned because he did not pay attention to the other man. Because he failed to take notice of Lazarus. Nowhere does Christ condemn the mere possession of earthly goods; he pronounces very harsh words against those who use their possessions in a selfish way, without paying attention to the needs of others. From the speech of Pope John Paul II October 2, Yankee Stadium. 3

Brother Lawerence Austin Angel Those tuho instr uct many unto justice shall shine as stars for all eternity.” Monsignor Nichol a long time friend of the Brothers and V.C. pronounced a eulogy upon the occasion of Brother Angel’s death. How appropriate does the above quotation from Sacred Scripture become when applied to the life of Brother Lawrence Austin Angel who, in the early morning hours of Monday, March I Oth., was called by His Divine Master to his eternal home. Brother Angel spent thirty-six years as a member of the Congregation of Christian Brothers, carrying on the work begun by Brother Edmund Ignatius Rice, of instructing youth in the eternal truths. For ten years of his life as a Religious teacher, Brother Angel gave faithful and devoted service to the Vancouver College Community. In addition to being an instructor in Religious Knowledge and the eternal truths, Brother Angel was a competent teacher of English, Latin, and French. His many expupils will recall his warm personality and keen wit both as a teacher in the classroom and as a friend in the casual conversations which take place between student and teacher after classes. Brother Angel was bom in St. John ' s, Newfoundland fifty-nine years ago. After his initial training as a Christian Brother and a teacher. He began his first teaching assignment in 1946 at St. Louis College, Victoria. In addition to his ten years of service at the College, Brother spent seven more years instructing students in B.C. - three years in Victoria, and four years at St. Thomas More High School, Burnaby. The remaining years of his teaching career were spent in schools conducted by the Christian Brothers in Los Angeles, U.S.A., and in St. John’s Newfoundland. The Collegian staff feel certain they are expressing the sentiments of the entire College community when we offer our sincere condolences to his surviving sister and three brothers and other relatives. We also offer our sympathy to his religious family. The Christian Brothers. To us, he was an outstanding example of what it means to be a member of the Order of Christian Brothers. We are thankful to the Almighty and to the Congregation of Christian Brothers for the honour and pleasure given to us by allowing Brother Angel to share his life with us. The lives of his expupils have been enriched in a special way for they are now more certain of their own vocation in the community of Christians. The Mass of Resurrection at the funeral service was celebrated in Holy Rosary Cathedral on Thursday, March I 3th. His Grace, Archbishop James F. Carnery, D.D. was the chief celebrant. Co-celebrants were His Excellency, Bishop L. Sabatini, Father D. Mulvihill, President of St. Mark ' s College, Father James Whelihan, chaplain to the Brothers at the College, and Father William Ashley, Assistant at Sts. Peter and Paul Parish. Rt. Rev. T.M. Nichol, pastor of Sts. Peter and Paul Parish gave the homily. In attendance at the Mass were Br. Angel’s sister and a number of his nephews and nieces. All of the Brothers from the Vancouver College and St. Thomas More communities were present at the Mass as well as visiting Brothers from Toronto, Seattle, and Chicago. Others in attendance included students from both Vancouver College and St. Thomas More, a large number of his expupils, parents of the students and friends. 4
