Memories The Poor Souls were remembered by the St. Bede monastic commun- ity and student body on Nov. 2, the day set aside by Holy Mother Church for special prayers on be- half of the souls in purgatory. Faculty and students assisted at a solemn high Mass celebrated in the chapel... ... and then marched to the cemetery in procession for the absolution ceremonies. On November 15 the first quarter college grades were released. Six collegians were fortunate enough to merit places on the honor roll. Connell, Ray, and Ahn (below) are the three collegians who are checking the official honor list posted on the main bulletin board.
