So true - I still remember one of the brothers, I think Paul, who used to come to our late father's for a write-up about St Paul which was then published in the yearly publication on the occasion of the feast of St Paul in Safi.

I do not know Pawla but If as they say, children are chips of the old blocks , then judging Paula by her children, well she must have been some special material as a parent whom others could follow.
May she rest in peace.
