On March 1 2, 1 3 and 14, the first annual student body retreat was given in Holy Family Church. The Reverend Lawrence Geoghan was retreat-master. For these three days, all Catholic students and those students of other Faiths who wished to attend, took part in this important religious exercise. Each day of the retreat began with Mass followed by morning conferences, private devotions, and an afternoon conference. Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament closed the day’s spiritual activities. For the academic year of 1957, the Reverend Donald Doxie acted as chaplain for the College for Men, succeeding Msgr. Michael Byrne, the first chaplain of the College. Father Doxie arranged for a daily student body Mass to be held on campus in the private chapel of the Bishop. A very generous breakfast was provided by His Excellency for the convenience of all who attended Mass. Throughout the year, the chaplain was available to students for private spiritual guidance. These religious activities, together with the Christian atmosphere which ever prevails at the College for Men, are the factors forming the spiritual side of the “complete man, the desired objective of the University of San Diego. To be good, to do good, and to be a power for good was the motto for the annual retreat for the college for Men. The Reverend Lawrence Geoghan was the retreat-master. Solemn High Mass, sung by the student body, closed the annual retreat held in Holy Family Church. 101
