Father Paul Schenker, Marianist religious of the Territorial Community of Switzerland passed away in Hägendorf (Switzerland) on August 27, 2020. Having spent several years as a missionary in Togo, he was instrumental in the gestation and growth of Marianist life in the country. . Paul showed arduous zeal for work, unfailing generosity and encyclopedic competence, especially in building the works and communities of Kara and Sotouboua, in building roads and chapels, in education as a teacher of religion, sciences, languages and technology, in health as a nurse, in Christian pastoral care as priest and catechist, in formation for religious life as recruiter and formator. He therefore leaves, in the evening of his life, a patrimony whose echo resonates daily in our lives. A reverence was returned to him in Kara and in Switzerland by the Marianist religious, the clergy and the population as a whole. May his memory remain forever inscribed in our hearts!
