Fr Bonaventure Hinwood OFM
F
OR many today in South Africa, the passing of Fr Bonaventure Hinwood on September 8 at Lady Selbourne retirement home in West Pretoria is “the end of an era”. Fr Hinwood was the first South African-born member of the Franciscan order. Edward Victor Hinwood was born on February 12, 1930 in Johannesburg. He was reared in the Anglican faith along with his only brother Lionel. Once he finished his secondary education, he went to the University of the Witwatersrand to study librarianship. While at Wits he was also involved in cultural groups and came into contact with the Catholic chaplain, Irish Franciscan Father Didacus Connery. A strong friendship developed between them and the young Edward decided to become a Catholic. After his university studies ended, he opted to join the Franciscan order. He studied at St John Vianney seminary in Pretoria, and then moved to Ireland to begin his novitiate with the Irish friars in Killarney. It was then that he took the name Bonaventure, after the 13th century Franciscan saint. He took his first vows in 1955 and then went on to complete his philosophical studies at Galway University. Next, he went to Rome, to the International University of Anthony, to undergo his theological
training. He obtained his degree in theology in 1960, and the same year was ordained a priest in Rome. As a scholar, he was asked to further his theological studies and he chose “race” as the topic of his doctorate. This was published in 1964 as Race: The Reflections of a Theologian. Meanwhile, he had returned to South Africa to begin his lecturing career at St John Vianney. He was also the Catholic chaplain at Pretoria University for many years. His ministry on the campus brought him into contact with members of the theology faculty, most of whom were from the Dutch Reformed Church. He became a very powerful spokesman for the Catholic Church in its efforts at dialogue on the ecumenical front. Because of his fluency in both English and Afrikaans, he very soon became a respected commentator on radio and television.

In the seminary he kept the library up to date with philosophical and theological publications. He published an MA thesis in 1974 on The Divisions of Human Knowledge in the Writings of St Bonaventure. Over the years he tackled many of the problems in Catholic theology in his Southern Cross “Questions and Answers” columns which were published in a series of booklets between 1983 and 1991. He was also an excellent poet in Afrikaans and published several books of Afrikaans poems. At St John Vianney seminary Fr Hinwood fulfilled many tasks, such as dean of studies, in which he was forever active in directing students and getting qualified lecturers. He even established a radio and TV studio in which he introduced seminarians to the art of communication. Mention should also be made of his translation into Afrikaans of the Book of Psalms as well as the Catechism of the Catholic Church. He was a very compassionate confessor and a prudent spiritual director. Having completed 35 years lecturing at the seminary, he was appointed parish priest of the Waterkloof, Pretoria, parish of St Pius X from 1999-2005, and it was only fitting that it was from the same church that his requiem was held on September 14.

To that end and submitting to God's holy will, i ask from you...(mention your favour). Amen This prayer should be said for 3 consecutive days.
