Brother Augustine's Story featured in PNG Blog

A popular blog in Papua New Guinea has featured the extraordinary life-story of one of our student brothers, Augustine Karovi.

The PNG Attitude blog - edited by veteran PNG writer, Keith Jackson -  contains  a fascinating portrait of Brother Augustine's life before he joined the Order - a life with experiences which few of us, happily, have ever known - including being subjected to torture.
The author of the column knew Augustine in his school days.  He is not a Catholic, and a few of his details on religious life are askew (e.g. Augustine is a simply professed brother, and a student for the priesthood - not "ordained" as the blog states) but otherwise Brother Augustine tells me it is accurate.
Be prepared for a graphic account.
