.,X,, 1 , U,,.agvmf':' efwzzf The purpose of a retreat is one of withdrawal into oneself hy meditation and prayer for the purpose of reflection upon past actions in the hope of achieving a more perfect harmony with our Divine Saviour. This year, under the direction of Fathers Edward Corry, C,S.l'. and James Finley, C.S.P. the students of Power made their annual retreat at the Church of Saint Paul the Apostle and in the Cold Star Gymnasium. The Seniors ofthe Academy held their conferences at St. Paul's Auditorium, while the underclassmen received their instructions in the Gymnasium. Meanwhile, thirty-nine Power Seniors journeyed to Monroe, New York, to participate in a three-day enclosed retreat. Ileld at Conzaga Retreat House, under the direction of thc Jesuit Fathers, the retreat offered these NL! up-f mrw' young men an opportunity of an almost praeternatural understanding of our Divine Redeemer and his infinite wisdom and grace. Led hy Father Thomas Burke, and under a contemplative rule of silence, these young men traveled a road which brought them closer to Cod than at any other time in their young lives. Separated from the distractions of city life they were hetter able to think on a metaphysical level. Acting in the role of prefect, Brother O'Connor kept the retreat running smoothly and on schedule. No doubt because of a newly achieved sense of spiritual maturity, a marked change in attitude was evidenced hy the whole student hody, upon completion of the retreat. Most certainly, this was due to a more vivid realization of the ever blessed and ever sacred presence of Our Lord jesus Christ. Loading on to bus for the trip to Monroe are some of the forty seniors who accompanied Brother Oliehrr.
