Ambrose Battista De Paoli

"Flowers are a gift of the Creator and their beauty speaks a language all their own. To offer a flower is a sign of sharing and caring between the giver and the receiver."

"After Sri Lanka, Africa and Japan, it's a different world in the same world. Each area has its own particular challenge."

"I look back nostalgically to that time, thirty-five years ago, when we worked and prayed and studied together. I remember Father De Paoli as a man of few words, but he observed events objectively, with a keen eye, and his judgments were sound."
