Albert Yelds MSC, Mission Letters – a Podcast

Recently, the MSC Mission Office received a donation of a cache of letters written by the late Albert Yelds MSC. Albert died last year at the age of 98, the doyen of the Australian Province, someone who was ill when young and not expected to live so long.

In recent decades, before retiring to Kensington, Albert spent many years in Kiribati.

Director of the MSC Mission Office, Roger Purcell, has been pioneering podcasts with the daily Mission Alive talks with a range of mission speakers.

Now, Letters from the Missions, A Memoir of Faith and Adventure, is a series available on Youtube, the texts of the letters are spoken by longtime member of the Mission Office staff, Sean Donovan. 

There are seven episodes.

Celebrating Albert Yelds MSC, 70 years ordained, senior confrere, aged 98.

Last Sunday, Albert Yelds turned 98, the age doyen of the province.

Today Albert celebrates the 70^th anniversary of his ordination – 70 years!

We acknowledge the life and ministry of Albert Yelds. Despite serious illness during his scholastic days, a delay in his ordination, many wondering about his health and life span, here is Albert at 98.

We remember his presence in our Colleges. We admire his promotion of Devotion to the Sacred Heart. There was his brief time in India, his decades-long service in Kiribati. In recent years at Kensington Monastery and at St Joseph’s.

All those who blessed him Ad Multos Annos at the time of his ordination have had their wishes and prayers answered way beyond their expectations.
