Biography
Martin Jäggi, missionary of the Bethlehem SMB Mission Society, was born in Zurich in 1942 and attended primary and secondary school in Pratteln in the canton of Baselland. Now 81, he graduated from high school in Rebstein SG and Immensee SZ in 1956 before beginning the novitiate at the Bethlehem SMB Mission Society from 1962 to 1963.
After studying philosophy and theology, he was ordained in 1970 by Bishop Anton Hänggi in Pratteln in the canton of Baselland. This was followed by eight years of promotional work in Switzerland, ten years in a slum community in Lusaka in Zambia, five years in the diocese of Malaybalay in Mindanao, and 16 years in Bontoc-Lagawe in Northern Luzon in the Philippines.
In sabbaticals, he spent a three-month course in Apostolic Spirituality at St. Beuno's in the United Kingdom, Jesuit-led spiritual direction training, and three months of Bible study in Jerusalem (Dormition Abbey). Since 2018, Martin Jäggi has been enjoying his retirement and served as parish administrator in Küssnacht am Rigi from 2019 to 2021.
The missionary had his first contact with yoga in 1962 in the novitiate of the SMB with the book "Yoga for Christians" by Déchanet. His first contact with the "World Community for Christian Meditation" (WCCM) followed at the 2012 silent retreat in Monte Oliveto in Tuscany.
