Henry J. Koren, Spiritan East African Memorial, 1994: Desirous to become a missionary he finished his classical studies at Cellule in
1898 and could make his profession on October 1, 1899 at Orly. Sent to Rome for higher studies, he earned a doctorate in theology and was ordained on July 10 1905 at San Valentino (then a summer home for Spiritan students in ltaly). From 1906 to 1912 he taught theology at Knechtsteden. Then he received his appointment to Gerrnan East Africa. He arrived there in the fall of 1912 and was assigned to the Vicariate of Bagamoyo. lts bishop made him educational secretary for his vicariate. The outbreak of world war one left him untouched until in 1917 the British intemed him in Dar-es-Salaam as an enemy alien. Being an Alsatian, however, he was allowed to leave Tanganyika for Kenya. There he became pastor of Mombasa, a parish which at that time covered the area from Malindi to Lamu along the coast and extended for 200 miles inland. He labored very hard there trying to establish a network of schools over the area. While giving a retreat to Sisters in Nairobi, he died suddenly, despite repeated assurances of the doctors that he was not seriously ill.
