Brother Ronald Drahozal, C.S.C. “Wonderfully Wonderful!” was the quick response of Brother Ronald to describe his life of 60 years as a Brother of Holy Cross. He was born Nov 14, 1937 into a close Czech community in Cedar Rapids. He has 3 brothers and one sister who all live close to Cedar Rapids. He graduated form St Ludmila’s Grade School and St Wenceslaus High School before entering the brothers Aug 15, 1956. After his graduation from St Edward’s University in 1962, Brother Ronald was assigned to Bangladesh and has been there ever since. His first few decades there he taught in St Gregory’s School but later became aware of the “massive” drug problem the youth and adults had been suffering under. He opened a drug rehab center, which accommodated 40-60 children and included a school for grades 1-5. In addition he served over 100 adults daily at the APON Drug Rehabilitation Center. It was the first drug rehab center in Bangladesh. He was known as “the pioneer of drug rehabilitation” in Bangla-desh. He founded the drug center in 1988 for the very poor and destitute in the area. “The children would earn a little change on the streets of Bangladesh and buy ‘Baba’
drugs. ‘Baba’ means “father.”
“We had a good success rate of children and adults who came to our center and remained clean”, he said. “Perhaps they numbered into the thousands. One of our staff members was a Holy cross Sister, Sister Monja Cor-raya who dedicated her life to the drug center and did a marvelous job.
“If I go to heaven, it will be the drug addicts who take me there.” Reprinted from the Newsletter of the Midwest Province of the Brothers of Holy Cross" for June, 2018
