Bro. Jan Lansink, aO.Carm.

✞ November 18, 2002

On this day we remember Bro. Jan Lansink, aO.Carm. whose life was a gift to the church in the Philippines.

Bro. Jan helped establish cooperatives in Escalante and Agusan del Sur with the aim of empowering poor farmers and workers. This paved the way for a more socially-relevant pastoral care in the mission areas of Carmel, shifting the focus from parish work to community development work.

With gratitude, let us remember Bro. Jan in our prayers today.
