Fulfilling The Purpose Of Contemporary Men Man is not alone in his existence in this life and to exist in a private world is contrary to the purpose of man. Thus it is his role to rely on others and others on him. This role is carried out best in a community atmosphere. About the best community environments can be found is the religious activity of man’s life. The true aspects of religion are giving of self for the other. It can be easily seen that such an atmosphere exists in Benilde. The students are bound together in the participation of Mass, mission projects, C.C.D., and Contacts and ON Corps work. This spirit of concern for others was also exhibited in the Christmas basket drive and the Christmas Party for the poor children. Religion is essential in the completion of a contemporary man. He cannot live fully centered on social status, nor can he live only for himself, nor only for others. All must work together, religion, personalism, and social life, to build men. 12
