Abstract: A positive integer $m$ will be called a {it finitistic order} for an element $gamma$ of a group $Gamma$ if there exist a finite group $G$ and a homomorphism $h:GammaoG$ such that $h(gamma)$ has order $m$ in $G$. It is shown that up to conjugacy, all but finitely many elements of a given finitely generated, torsion-free Kleinian group admit a given integer $m>2$ as a finitistic order.
