As per our daily custom during evening prayers, we prayed for our deceased Salesians, especially from this GBR province. Today we remembered Br Jan Orysiuk, a Polish man who lived and worked for many years in Blaisdon. He was from Poland and joined the army at a very young age mostly to save his family being driven out. He then moved from Poland to Russia, and subsequently ended up in India. After the War, he came to England and joined the Salesians. Eventually he brought his parents and his brother too, and settled them in Gloucestershire. He was a watchmaker and was adept at making any machine parts.
While sharing his life and times as a Salesian, Fr Sean concluded narrating an incident involving his own brother, Joseph Orysiuk who used to work in the farm of the Salesians. One day when he was driving the mini-van, laden with the farm produce, especially eggs to the town, he had a small accident, round the corner. As a result all the eggs were smashed in the van! Ever since, that turn has been remembered as 'The Omelette corner'.
