Spiritual guide for every 1111111 at Chaminade, Flllfllffl' James Hickey, S.M., has tl1e responsibility of inaintain- ing the spiritual life of all Chaminade Men. How to provide Chaminade Men with opportunities for furthering their spirit11al life posed quite a problem. Attempts to solve these difficulties took the form of dis- tribution of Holy Coinniunion at 8:10, 8:30, and 9:10 each morning, hearing of confessions before and after school each day, a daily mass at 8:10 for those who could attend, a11d a weekly mass for the student body on Fridays. As a Senior privilege, permission was granted to those Seniors having study pe1'iod on Thursday to use the time for confession. Other means offered to foster a growth in the supernatural life were: the WVay of the Cross each Friday afternoon during Lent, a three day retreat conducted by Father Cyril Middendorf, S.M., and Father Joseph McCoy, S.M. during Holy Week, and general confession days held throughout the year. As Chaminadeis spiritual counselor, Father Hickey, has helped many students with their spiritual, as well as other difficulties. A good listener with a friendly manner, Father was always willing to be of assistance to those who. sought his direction. REVEREND JAMES R. HICKEY, S.M.
