On 6th November 2024, the communities of Missionaries of Africa and Missionary Sisters of Our Lady of Africa came together in Little Ealing Lane to celebrate the 90 years of life and service of Fr Frank Nolan.
Frank was the main celebrant at the Mass of thanksgiving and afterwards he took part in and was the centre of the buffet supper which we all shared.
Frank has spent very many years in Tanzania both teaching and in parish ministry, but although now he is based in Little Ealing Lane, he is part of the History Project of the Society and continues studies of the Society and various great figures of our White Father history. He publishes some but also gives live lectures, as on the recent Feast of Our Founder, Cardinal Lavigerie.
We thank God for Frank’s gifts and his presence amongst us. God has given him 90 years so far, may He continue to be generous.
