Happy 80th Birthday to Bro Albinus

I learnt that Bro Albinus O'Flaherty celebrated his 80th birthday this weekend. Bro Albinus was the former principal of St Joseph's Secondary School (1963-69) and Sacred Heart Sacondary School (1972-1986). He is also the author of  the book "A new dawn : history of the Archdiocese of Kuching (1976-2001)".



Bro Albinus, like all the other brothers, has done a great deal for education in Sarawak. I believe he is the last remaining La Salle brother in Kuching (and mostly probably in Sarawak), and resides at St Joe. He still oversees a tuition program for underserved students especially in rural areas around Kuching

My dad (also a Josephian in the 1940s) and I visited him briefly last Thursday, and Bro Albinus looks well and in good cheer.

I'm sure Bro Albinus would greatly appreciate your well-wishes or a quick visit if you were around our alma mater.
