Henry J. Koren, Spiritan East African Memorial, 1994: He did his junior studies at Cellule and his theology at Chevilly, where he was ordained in 1885 and made his profession on August 23, 1885. His first assignment sent him to Southern Nigeria, but two years later illness caused his return to Europe. When he had recovered, there was a need for German missionaries in what had become German East Africa, so that he was sent there in October 1888. We find him mentioned as stationed in Morogoro, Bagamoyo and Ilonga in the Uruguru mountains. Once again, however, serious illness drove him back to Europe in 1892. He spent his leave in Germany, promoting the Congregation and speaking in West Germany about the Catholic African Association for the missions, as well as gathering funds for it. While waiting for the impending permission allowing the Spiritans to return to Germany and have houses there, he was attached to the college of Beauvais with its numerous students from Alsace and Germany; a teacher of German was needed for them. Pneumonia carried him there to his premature grave.
