Titus with journalists

This photo was probably taken at the city of Tilburg, Holland in 1936 at the opening of a new society for students. (right)

Titus with some journalists, circa 1935. This picture may have been taken at Dokkum, (in Friesland), Holland, where St. Boniface, the Apostle of Germany, was martyred. If the latter is true, the occasion would have been some excavations there, as early as 1925. Fr. Titus was a great promoter of devotion to St. Boniface and to building up the shrine to him at Dokkum.

Titus in Nijmegen, Holland

In 1939, Titus, surrounded by professors and friends at Catholic University of Holland at Nijmegen, celebrated the 40th anniversary of his profession as a Carmelite. Here he is receiving his noted album amicorum, a collection of letters of esteem and congratulations. Unfortunately this collection has been lost. (above)
