EUlUlN YHXHS On May first, Brother Vitalis Schmeer celebrated his golden jubilee as a Capuchin. The seminary shared in the celebration. Many priests of the Order and of the diocese, including Father Provincial and Lieutenant Colonel O'Brieng many brothers and lay friends were on hand to fete our jubilarian. It was a big day, and rightfully sog for to complete fifty years of untiring work as a Capuchin lay brother is as praiseworthy as it is rare. For half a century Brother Vitalis has lived well the hidden life of the Capuchin brother. He is still on the job performing his daily round of duties-duties pleasant and unpleasant. To cook was brother's vocation and avocation. He has served up his de- lightful dishes in almost every refectory of the province. Brother Vitalis and cooking are but one brother and one of a brotherls duties. The Capuchin brother is a sacristan, porter, tailor, shoe- maker, infirmarian, farmer, in fact a jack-of-all-trades. The im- portant thing about a brother's life is not what he docs but how he does itw-for the honor and glory of God.
