SILENT DEVOTIONAL EXERCISES.
The Annual Retreat of Catholic
Priests Being Held at st. Thorn

Priests Being Held at st. ThOm-
as Seminary.
The annual retreat of the Catholic
priests in the st. Paul diocese was be-
gun at-St. Thomas seminary last night
under the direction of Archbishop Ire
land About $50 priests are in attend
ance. There are about forty more
priests in the diocese who are unable
to be present on account of sickness
or for other reasons.
The object of a retreat is to bring
all the priests together for a. week of
spiritual meditation and prayer. They
do not indulge in any pleasantries,
such as light or jovial conversation,
during this period, but give themselves
up wholly to devotional thought and
spiritual exercises, the time being spent
in silence. The bishop of the diocese
in which the retreat is held gives lee
lures and directs the meditations.
For such a gathering it would be
hard to imagine a more choice spot
than that on which the seminary is
located. Overlooking the Father of
Waters and isolated from all the bus
tie and turmoil of life, it is the ideal
place for one bent on holy thought to
spend a week. Besides, accommoda-
tons for such gatherings are superb
which may be understood when it is
known that Notwithstanding the num-
Der of priests in attendance at the re-
treat the accommodations are extern
sive enough SO that most of them have
two rooms each.
Bishop McGolrick, of the Duluth
diocese, is present at the retreat with
1fI- Of i;
the other leading Catholic clergy pres
ent are Archbishop Grace, Mgr. Ra-
vouX and Father Buh, the well-known
priest who is so popular in the Zenith
City. Some of the priests in attend
ance have been residents of the state

built within it's borders. Following
