Br Francis Attah, the head of the Marist Community in Pailin, North Cambodia died on 10 February 2022 after a short battle with cancer.<\/span><\/p>\nBr Francis generously welcomed and hosted the three Marist Sisters\u2019 Woolwich immersions to Pailin (2017, 2018 and 2019). His warm and generous welcome of MSCW students and staff to the Marist Pailin community, his passion for supporting the young people and the country of Cambodia and his culinary skills were highlights for the students during the three immersions. He impressed the MSCW students by showing them that he too could sing the <\/span>Salve Regina<\/span><\/i>.

On 20 February 2022, the official blessing of the Marist Centre of Hope took place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n
