Retreats for CTS
Serving in Korea
Cain in Popularity

SEOUL, South Korea - NC) -
''There should be more retreats for
Catholic servicemen."
That is the opinion of Army, Ma.
rine and Air Force personnel after
three-day retreat at the Army's
new retreat center here. The men
came from all over South Korea,
from the demilitarized zone above
the 38th parallel to Pusan.
Msgr. Ut. COLI Ferdinand A.
Evans of Cincinnati, Ohio, con-
Quoted the retreat. He said that
the Army realizes the value of re-
ligious ideals in making a good
soldier. He stressed the themes of
love of God and fulfillment of
duty.
The 81 ssrviesmen making the
retreat followed a schedule OF
religious exercises in addition 10
fha four conferences which Mon
signor Evans gave each day. In
the afternoon each man had an
opportunity for personal diree-
fion.
Reaction to the retreat was very
favorable.
The retreat movement in Korea
began with monthly days of recol-
lection for the Catholic chaplains
at the Columbian House in Seoul.
It was not until the summer Of
1854 that enlisted men began to
make retreats at the Columbian
memorial chapel.
The Army has now adopted the
idea for Catholics, but also for
other denominations. During this
first retreat, Monsignor Evans
took the men on tour of the Ca
tholic institutions in the city. The
servicemen agreed that one of the
highlights of their retreat was
visit to the missionaries.
