 Spirit of Manresa
 Following presentation of a Wa terbury clock to the guest speaker ae feelingly remarked that he hoped the spirit of Manresa, such as was sxemplified in Waterbury, would be- come the spirit of America"
 The Most Rev. Henry J. O,Brien, Auxiliary Bishop of Hartford, mak- ing his first visit to Waterbury as guest of the retreatants urged that attention be given to fostering of retreats among high school boys and girls. He pointed out that sanc- tity in ones life is not something too high for any man to reach, but is always within the grasp of him who strives for peace with God. Bishop O'Brien praised highly the retreat movement as a fine example of Catholic Action.
 Rev. Cornelius P. Teulings, pro- lessor of philosophy and religion at St. Joseph's College, West Hartford, said that Manresa was making real PeAtecostal Catholics. He referred to the retreat as a process of inner reenergizing and praised highly those men who undergo this pro- Gess.
 The Rev. Thomas H. Moore, s. l., new Spiritual Director of Manresa, urged his listeners to live their re- treats in their daily lives that the world might bow down in respect lnd honor. He referred to the chao- tic state of the world today and stated that much of 1t was due to confused philosophies about which little is known because of funda- OlenSal weaknesses in mems beliefs.

Hennessy who have labored so many years to pro- mote the Manresa retreat movement In the Naugatuck Valley. Father Moore referred to Mir. Walsh as the waterbury spark-plug."
 In brief remarks MT. Hennessy, who marks his 18th year as pro- moter, said he regarded his trips to Staten Island in the past as the high-lights of his entire life.
