TALES FROM AFRICA: Fr John Lee’s book in English. A good Salesian Family gift that is just now available: the only book Tales from Africa written by Fr John Lee (+2010). FATHER, WILL YOU BE MY FRIEND?: Fr “John Lee’s” Africa Tales, Kindle Edition; by Tae Seok Lee (Author), Myongil Yu (Editor), Henry Bonetti (Translator) Format: Kindle Edition.
LEE TAE SEOK PRIEST: Written by a very popular Catholic Writer, Lee Chung Yeol, (Celestino) in Korean, and published by a major Korean Publishing House (https://www.gimmyoung.com) – “Kim Young Sa” – last December 2021. The 265-page documentary book is enriched with many photos from the childhood to the end of Fr John’s life and a special attraction is the interview with Fr James Pullickal (South Sudan, Tonj parish priest) who was providential in the coming of Fr John to this war-torn country for the first time in 1999 during the summer break from the Salesian University in Rome. Two years of hard work and excellent story writing make this book a precious contribution to get know this very human and also very spiritual missionary figure better.
A MUSIC CONCERT on the anniversary day of Fr John Lee’s death (Seoul Provincial House Hall, on January 12, and Busan Fr John Lee Memorial Hall, on January 15) brings the Korean publication also to a wider public with the presence of the author Lee Chung Yeol.
And of course, these past two months the YouTube, Korean Public televisions, and Catholic Media channels have dedicated a lot of attention to this Salesian missionary, who still attracts not only volunteers for the missionary life or benefactors to the African mission cause, but also inspires again new generations of young people to follow Jesus with the heart of Don Bosco.
