{mosimage} In the year 2005, Father Hess visited the United States and spent about three months there. He first visited Chicago, followed by San Diego and then Baltimore. Before returning to India, he again spent some time in San Diego and Chicago. During this period a number of Nobilians in the Mid-West, the East Coast and the West Coast called upon Father Hess to meet him personally. Everyone, expressed their gratitude for his brilliant work in India and fondly remembered their days at De Nobili School. Professor Ramesh Rao of the University of California, San Diego organized a get together of Nobilians on the West Coast.

In the Mid West, quite a few Nobilians called upon Father Hess when he was staying with Mr. Joseph Thomas.
