Frančiškanski misijonarji med slovenskimi izseljenci v Egiptu v 19. in 20. stoletju

Trontelj, Nik (author)

Prispevek predstavi osem slovenskih frančiškanov, ki so v razdobju 70 let delovali med slovenskimi izseljenci v Egiptu. Frančiškani iz Slovenske (kranjske) frančiškanske province sv. Križa so bili navzoči v mestih, kjer sta bili največji skupnosti Slovencev: v Aleksandriji (1894–1957) in v Kairu (1908–1965). Kot apostolski misijonarji so bili odgovorni za ureditev verskega življenja rojakov, obenem pa so skrbeli tudi za ohranjanje njihove narodne zavesti. Zaslužni so bili za ustanovitev slovenske šole in raznih društev in za prihod slovenskih šolskih sester sv. Frančiška Kristusa Kralja iz Maribora, s katerimi so sodelovali pri vodenju azila za brezposelna dekleta. V prispevku smo na podlagi časopisnih objav, strokovne literature in arhivskega gradiva predstavili pastoralno in narodno delovanje frančiškanskih duhovnikov med slovenskimi izseljenci v Egiptu.

Abstract

The article presents eight Slovene Franciscans who have worked among the Slovene emigrants in Egypt in the course of 70 years. Franciscans of the Slovenian (Carniolan) Province of the Holy Cross were present in two cities with the most significant communities of Slovenes, namely, in Alexandria (1894–1957) and Cairo (1908–1965). As apostolic missionaries, they were responsible for organising a religious life for compatriots, and at the same time, taking care of preserving their national identity. They were credited with the foundation of a Slovene school, various associations and the arrival of the Slovene School sisters of St. Francis of Christ the King, with whom they were running an asylum for unemployed women. In the article, we presented the Franciscan priests’ pastoral and national awakening work among the Slovene emigrants in Egypt based on newspaper articles, professional literature, and archival sources.
