The students strove to bring them- selves closer to God during the an- nual three-day retreat, conducted by Fr. Patrick Fennessey, O.M.I. The spiritual development of the Valle-ites was augmented by pray- ing, sacrificing, reading spiritual material, reminiscing through past successes and failures, thinking seriously on what improvements could be made, considering their vocation in life, and contemplating the highest goal of all--Heaven.
