“I’m a man of action,” says Br Hermann Hempen SVD. “I like keeping active and that’s why I love my job.”
Br Hermann’s job is to care for senior SVD confreres at the St Wendel home for the aged, in his home country of Germany. He is also well known and loved in the AUS Province for his years of hard work, care and dedication in Brisbane and Marsfield following his time as a missionary in Papua New Guinea.
