RETREAT 1943 The Faculty of St. Joseph’s Academy strives to educate the students under its care in every way possible. No more important part of a stu¬ dent’s daily life is there than the religious. Mass is olfered each morning at 7:15 for the benefit of the boys. Always, the student is encouraged to conscientious performance of his duties as a Catholic. Every attempt is made to instill each boy with a personal love of Christ and ETis Church. One such attempt, and a great one, comes in the form of the Annual Retreat, which this year was held for the Academy in December. The Reverend Henry Druffel, C.PP.S., was the retreat-master. He had had much experience with boys and knew just exactly where their troubles lay and in what subjects they were most vitally interested. For three days, at appointed hours, the boys sat before the Blessed Sacrament and listened to Father Druffel’s witty anecdotes and sound spiritual advice. As a fitting climax to the retreat the boys went to Confession and received Holy Communion. It was an unforgettable sight to watch the boys, pew after pew, walk to the Communion rail to receive their God. They bowed their heads sincerely in adoration and thanksgiving for the graces granted them during these Days of Grace.”
