Xavier High School, Micronesia

The school had only a few boys (and no girls) when it started in 1952 at an old bombarded Japanese Communication Centre in Chuuk State; but for its 2007-2008 academic year, it had 142 girls and boys, among the best students of Micronesia. Under the remarkable leadership of the school’s Director, Fr Arthur Leger, the school community had long prepared for and looked forward to important events which took place in and around the school’s new chapel Maria della Strada.

On Sunday evening, September 4, 2005, while he was doing sport, playing tennis, Fr. Apolinaris Thall, SJ, a Jesuit from Yap, in Micronesia, fell down and then passed away.

He was born in Juli 23, 1950, entered the Society in June 1, 1973. After some years of formation to the priesthood, he was ordained in September 4, 1983. His last assignment was as the Parish Priest of St. Mary and Joseph parish in Yap Island. We are all very sad that we are losing a Yapist Jesuit. May the good Lord receive his soul in eternal peace.
