In particular, we would like to mention the essential contribution of confreres Prosper and Olivier for the modules given, as well as Salvador and Vitus for their service in the audio-visual field. Without Luigi and Guy, we wouldn’t have been able to do even half the programme. We owe them a great deal for the preparation and running of the programme.We thank God for this wonderful experience together.Terry Madden
