Newsletter September 2019

Dear Readers,

While I am adressing these lines to you, we, the team of Johannes-Hospiz, are in the middle of the celebrations for the twenty years’ jubilee of the in-patient hospice. To start the celebrations, an exhibition was opened in the building of the local government (Bezirksregierung) not far from Münster’s cathedral, and governor Dorothee Feller and Ludger Prinz, managing director of the hospice, welcomed the guests. For fourteen days, Johannes-Hospiz will show its manifold tasks and activities to an interested public. Both culmination and close will be the day of the open hospice on the last day of August. I shall document this intensive time with many pictures in the December edition.

May I now wish you a good and informative reading of this late summer’s Newsletter.

Yours

Andreas Stähli
