Flannigan who hears the confession of Brian McNaught. Three times a year, the students at Bro- ther Rice break from their daily routine to pause and re-evaluate their lives. These three days form the Days of Recollection. During this time students are provided with the opportunity to suspend their daily activity and turn to their spiritual lives. A series of spiritual talks and an opportunity for confession were aimed at the renewal of spiritual fervor. Between the talks, per- iods for meditation are provided. At the close of the day, Mass and Benediction are offered to end the day. The breaks allow the students to contemplate on their futures without any outside influence, something seldom obtained at any other time. Fr. McDonald, a selected lecturer for upperclass- men retreats, speaks to the junior class. 81
