The year 1963 also is of particular significance to you who upon graduation must seek to establish your proper station in life. It is my prayer that you will always keep before you the precepts that have been instilled into you during the past four years and that you will endeavor, whatever the circumstances in which you Fmd yourselves, to translate them into action. May the Blessing of Saint Francis strengthen you now and in the years that lie ahead. Yours devotedly in Christ, WWWW Fr. Augustine Sepinski, OF..M Minister General
