COMMUNITY MEMBERS
RETURN TO BELMONT
Many of the younger members
of the Abbey monastic community
have returned to the campus. The
Ven. Fraters Raymond Geyer, An
drew Doris and Matthew McSor-
ley, returned from St. Vincent’s
Archabbey, Latrobe, Pa., where
they spent the past year of novi
tiate. The Ven. Fraters Augustine
Crawford and George Hayes re
turned from St. Benedict’s Col
lege, Atchison, Kans., where they
are completing their undergrad
uate work for their degrees.
Mr. Chairman and Fellow Re
treatants:
Your Resolutions Committee has
the honor to submit the following
report:
On this twenty-third annual re
treat, under the auspices of the
Catholic Laymen’s Association of
Georgia, we first offer our thanks
to Almighty God that He has grant
ed us another opportunity to spend
this week-end in intimate compan
ionship with Him. We feel that this
experience has been refreshing and
strengthening to our souls, elevat-
ting and inspiring to our minds,
and has increased the fer or of our
hearts, all tending to better ac
complish our one grand purpose in
life.
It is with a deep sense of sor
row that we note the absence of
several members of our Retreat
Section whose presence and ex
ample have edified us in previous
years. Some are absent because of
ill-health or other Providential
causes; others have been taken to
their eternal reward when they
were most acceptable in God’s
sight. Noble Catholic gentl' - ten
all, we are conscious of their
spiritual presence and participa
tion in our spiritual exercises, and
we are the better for it. We pray
that God may give strength and an
abundance of graces to those still
on this earth and that the souls of
our faithful departed, through the
infinite mercy of God, may eternal
ly rest in peace.
We offer a hearty welcome to
those who this year are making
their first retreat, and pray that
they may leave with the strong de
termination to repeat it annually.
We invite them to join our Union
of Prayer and promise to include
in their might prayers one Our
Father and three Hail Marys for
the intention that all our retreat
ants and Reverend Retreatmasters
may keep in a state of grace and
be granted God’s blessing of a
happy death. We expect them to
also encourage the growth of the
Retreat movement by persuading
at least one friend annually to
make the retreat.
In a special manner we welcome
and greet those members of our
armed forces, all of whom are from
distant Dioceses and States, whose
military duties permitted their
participation in this year’s retreat.
May their safe return home to fam
ilies and firesides be attended by
recollection of their brief associ
ation with us, as ours will be of
them, and may their consepts of
Catholicism in Georgia be founded
on a lively appreciation of the
quarter-century growth of the
Catholic Laymen’s Association of
Georgia.
Even in the quiet and seclusion
of a retreat we cannot completely
dispel from our minds the reali
zation that we are engaged in a
total war, that families in our Dio
cese are desolated by the death of
someone near and dear to them
and to us, some who are in enemy
hands, some whose fate is un
known, all. victims of war’s horror
and havoc. American Catholics—
Georgia Catholics—have contribut
ed and are bearing their full share
of the common cost; and because
of the many precious lives it has
cost us, let it never be forgotten
that we will not be content with
less _ than complete unconditional
subjugation of our enemy.
For the welfare of our heroes
who have suffered, are now suffer
ing, and inevitably will suffer
physical, mental and emotional
anguish, we pray God to be near
in their hours of need; and to their
grief-stricken families we pray
that He will bring comfort conso
lation and resignation to His Holy
Will.
We offer to our Retreatmaster,
the Reverend Thomas J. S. Mc
Grath, 'S. J., our tribute of admi
ration and regard. We have found
immeasurable benefit in his doc
trinal discourses; he has instilled
into -our minds a greater appreci
ation of our faith, and in our
hearts a fervency which will re
main, please God, a long, long
time. We pray that Father Mc
Grath may continue his ministry
for many years to come, reaping
rich and abundant harvests of
souls, as we will remember, that
we are, and ever '/ill be, indebted
and grateful to him.
We find it difficult to express
adequately our obligation and
thanks to the Reverend John J.
Crean, the dear Sisters of St. Jo
seph. and their boys, for the re
ception and hospitality accord
ed us. They have annually, com
mencing in 1931. twice in 1936,
done us the great favor of taking
us in and caring for all our needs.
We are aware of many of the bur
dens and difficulties incident to
providing for us, but we fear there
are other problems not made
known by our most gracious hosts
and hostesses. We hasten to assure
them that they hav» made perma
nent impressions on and in our
hearts, those who this year were
their guests for the first time and
all others who have enjoyed their
hospitality over the years.' We shall
never forget them, and pray that
God may shower upon them His
most bountiful blessings in fullest
measure.
We recommend that these senti
ments be recorded in the perma
nent archives of the Catholic Lay
men’s Association of Georgia and
a copy be furnished each of the
local branches here represented
Respectfully,
