Albinus Peter Graves - Return To The Philippines

Return To The Philippines

Br. Peter was reassigned to Manila in 1930 for good. During World War II, he was interred by the Japanese Imperial Forces at the Internment Camp at Los BaƱos together with other Allied Brothers and Religious. He was rescued by American forces in 1945 and went on an eight-month vacation. On December 16, 1945, Br. Peter returned to Manila to re-establish the College.

In 1951, the De La Salle Brothers in the Philippines opened a Novitiate and Br. Peter was appointed Sub-Director and taught Theology and Church History, among others.

Famous quotes containing the words return to the, return to and/or return:

    Athletes have studied how to leap and how to survive the leap some of the time and return to the ground. They don’t always do it well. But they are our philosophers of actual moments and the body and soul in them, and of our manoeuvres in our emergencies and longings.
    Harold Brodkey (b. 1930)

    Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or
    the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the
    cistern.
    Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit
    shall return unto God who gave it.
    Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher, all is vanity.
    Bible: Hebrew Ecclesiastes (l. XII, 6–7)

    I got my first clear view of Ktaadn, on this excursion, from a hill about two miles northwest of Bangor, whither I went for this purpose. After this I was ready to return to Massachusetts.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
