RELIGIGUS The student at St. Joseph's is constantly re- minded that his first duly is towards God. Important as hi-s academic and social obligations may be, the Cadet is constantly impressed with the gravity of his religious obligations. And this is the prime rea- son for the 'Catholic school. Daily Mass and frequent reception of the Sac- raments, prescribed thrice-weekly religious instruc- tion are part of the daily life of the student. Such daily contact with religion makes it a part of the student's life rather than something which is to be donned once a week like a Sunday suit. The annual three-day retreat is held shortly before the Easter vacation, and all members of the Corps are obliged to attend. In the scene above, taken on the occasion of the visit of the Pilgrim Virgin of Fatima, four Cadets were highly privileged to carry the image in solemn procession. The crowd in attendance was too large to be accommodated in the parish church, so the services were held in the Jefferson School auditor- ium. Photo courtesy Foster Studio
