  2. Recalling with affection the bond that linked Father Paul Hannon to the Pontifical Institute for Arabic and Islamic Studies, the PISAI joins its condolences to those of his family and of the Missionaries of Africa at his passing.
    Paul first came to the PISAI as a student and studied here from 1993-1995. He came from Sudan, where he had been appointed after his priestly ordination. After completing his studies at PISAI and obtaining the licentiate in Arabic and Islamic Studies, Paul went back to Sudan, in September 1995. It was then that I first met him, while doing my two years of stage in Khartoum.
    Paul came back to the PISAI in 1999, this time not as a student but to teach. The next year, in 2000, he was appointed Dean of Studies. Those who knew him at the time still remember him as a man of selfless dedication and care for everyone, both students and staff. Paul served at the PISAI until 2005, when he was again appointed to Sudan.
    But that was not the end of his service to our Institute. Paul came back to Rome again in September 2014 to help with some teaching responsibilities, but especially to provide individual support to those students who found Arabic particularly challenging. Once again, Paul showed himself a patient and dedicated teacher, which had been, let’s not forget, his first vocation before he joined the Missionaries of Africa.
    Our Institute will never forget his warm and affectionate character, his loyalty to friends and his generosity to everyone he met. May the Lord welcome his servant Paul into the joy of paradise. The PISAI, much moved, remembers him in prayer.
    Diego Sarrió, M.Afr.
