Jean Claude Ralaivaonirina SJ of the Madagascar Province is a Jesuit tertian who did a placement at Cherryfield Lodge, a nursing home in Dublin for Irish Jesuits, and at the Clongowes Wood College farm in Co Kildare. Fr Jean Claude said that he had learned a lot from the wisdom of the older Jesuits, and the farming experience will help him, surprisingly, in his new role working with the homeless in Madagascar.
