Tribute, service award to highlight
2005 Francis Week schedule at SBU
S
t. Bonaventure will hold its annual
celebration for the patron saint of
the University when Francis Week
is observed this year. Francis Week celebrates the patron saint of the University,
St. Francis of Assisi.
The celebration began with a Family
Weekend Eucharist on Sunday and culminates in the Feast of St. Francis and the
celebration of the Eucharist on Tuesday,
Oct. 4.
St. Bonaventure also welcomes speakers Fr. André Cirino, O.F.M., as well as
Josef Raischl, S.F.O., and his wife,
Bernadette Raischl.
They will be giving a speech on
Thursday titled “The Strategy That Saved
Assisi,” followed by a posthumous service award honoring Col. Valentin Müller
(1891-1951).
Müller, a German physician, commanded the hospitals in wartime Assisi,
Italy, in February 1944. Müller convinced
Josef Raischl, S.F.O., and Bernadette
Raischl
German authorities to declare Assisi a
“hospital city,” which prevented the occupation of the city by German troops and
steered fighting away from the city. In
June 1944, Müller commanded the evacuation of 2,000 German wounded and hospital personnel to make sure no harm was
done to the buildings of Assisi by Allied
bombings.
Müller ordered a large quantity of
medical supplies to be left in the city for
use by residents, an action that left him
vulnerable to punishment in Berlin. He
also was the last medical doctor to make
visits to the homes of Jewish patients.
Fr. André, a Franciscan preacher, has
ministered in parishes, Franciscan formation and education. Fr. André also worked
at the Little Portion retreat house in the
Bronx for eight years. He has written or
co-authored both books and articles for
The Cord: A Franciscan Spiritual Review,
published by the Franciscan Institute at St.
Bonaventure University. Most recently he
has written “My Heart's Quest: Collected
Writings of Eric Doyle, Friar Minor and
Theologian,” with Josef Raischl.
Josef Raischl, S.F.O., spent a year of
study in Rome at the Capuchin
Theological Institute. He collaborated
with Fr. André to develop a retreat on St.
Bonaventure’s “Journey into God” during
that time.
A native of Germany, Raischl studied
theology at the Catholic University of
Eichstatt, as well as at the Franciscan
International Study Center in England.
There he was a student of the late Eric
Doyle, O.F.M., a Franciscan friar and
scholar. Doyle, an advocate for the ordination of women in the church, also
taught in the Graduate Theology
Department at St. Bonaventure University
from 1970 to 1982.
Bernadette Raischl, a psychotherapist
and dance instructor, will give two work-
shops on meditative dance for prayer and
worship on Tuesday during Francis Week.
Raischl, the granddaughter of Col.
Mueller, lives with her husband and their
children in Dachau, Germany.
Fr. André Cirino, O.F.M.
