A Tribute To Our Priest, Friend & Co-Founder:
Father Patrick Fitzgerald​
Missionaries of Africa
Portsmouth/London, England
​
Served on Sobornost For The World Board 2003-2010
Sobornost For The World Foundation is sincerely grateful to Fr. Patrick Fitzgerald for all the selfless and enthusiastic hours he so generously gave preparing talks, writing our Storefront Thoughts each week, endless travels to many churches around the Diocese to preach about our mission that had just been created.
Without his leadership and knowledge of developing world issues - especially in Zambia and Kenya- and because of his love of the people he served, we could not have started this successful journey and been able to provide food and education to hundreds of orphaned children in Zambia, Kenya and now India. Our continued service to those in need around the world is our most profound way of thanking him for his service.
Father Augustine Fernando
​
Incarnated Priest from India to Rockville Centre Diocese
​
Served on Sobornost For The World Board 2014-Present
Sobornost For The World Foundation is sincerely grateful also to Fr. Augustine Fernando for all the time, trips and prayerfulness he offered our members here and abroad. His quiet, discerning way helped bring us through many challenging times and the Foundation thrived under his prayerful eyes. He never said "no" and always was open to try new ideas out and apply his knowledge and support. He has now returned to his beloved country of India where he spends his days with family, friends and all the priests who need his wisdom and a listening ear.
