Qaaeaean To live in the midst of the world without wishing its pleasuresg To be a member of each family yet belonging to nonej To share all sufferingsg to penetrate all secretsj to heal all woundsg To go from men to God and offer Him their prayersg To return from God to men to bring pardon and hopeg To have a heart of fire for charity and a heart of bronze for chastityg To teach and to pardon, console and bless always. My God, what a lite! And it is yours, O Priest of Jesus Christ.

6 apfaind The primary objective of an Augustinian education at St. Rita is the complete absorption by every student of the intellectual, moral and religious elements and ideals created by Christ and for- mulated by our Fathers at the dawn ot Christianity. The St. Rita boy is conscious ot this para- mount aim from the daybreak ot freshmanhood to the twilight hour ot seniorhood. FATHER TlM'MS AND FATHER FITZMAURICE St. Rita describes a complete cycle ot spiritual phases through the scholastic year. In the inspir- ing and sublime setting of our Chapel, each student attends Mass with his class once a week, he goes to Confession and receives Holy Com- munion at least once a month, he hears instructive and practical homilies delivered by our Augustinian Fathers, he partakes of the resplendent services appropriate to each Ecclesiastical season, he makes an annual retreat to renovate and sanctify his spir- itual being, he is privileged to keep sacred vigil with the Knights ofthe Holy Eucharist, and to serve Holy Mass and gain membership in the Sanctuary Society, he contributes generously to The Propa- gation ot the Faith.
