Our confrere Fr. Konrad Mirke (CJ), member of the Community of the Generalate died on 22 December 2009 in Limburg, Germany. He suffered a cerebral stroke in the end of September and has been treated in the intensive therapy unit of the Holy Spirit Hospital in Rome. In the second half of October, he was transferred to the specialised House of Care of “St. Raphael” at Rocca di Papa and than to Limburg. We thank Fr.
