cipation in retreats, was
advocated by a leader in
III e national retreat
movement in Columbus
last Sunday.
RALPH CARA, an Antonio

vice-president of the National
Layman's Retreat League, told
the more than ESQ Retreat
League members who attend
ed the annual banquet last
Sunday at Bishop Ready High
School:
1.-THE RETREAT is for all
Catholics not just a select
few. Laymen should take an
active part not only in the
planning of the retreat but
also of the giving of a re-
treat"
Cara told of successful re-
treats held in the southwest
where trained laymen were
used as LAY retreat masters
Talks by laymen to laymen
were not only inspirational
but well accepted, he said.
Cara continued:
There are three parts to
each retreat:
the pIanning-getting the
people, place, retreat master,
food and so forth.
the actual retreat.
the application Of what is
learned In fhe retreat 10 your
everyday life.

retreat league spiritual mod
orator and diocesan retreat
director. The Bishop lauded
the increase in the number
of retreats this year, 945,
which is the best year ever
but added the reminder:
I'VE CANNOT coM
complacent, we have not
reached our capicity al the re-
modelled retreat house nor
our potential of diocesan men
who can make a retreat"
The Bishop pointed out the
need for Catholics to take in
to public life Christian prin-
ciples.
I'VE HAVE A CATHOLIC
who is President of the United
States and other Catholics
who have assumed positions
of leadership in government
and other areas of public life.
We do not always have to
agree with them but we
should pray for them. We
need more Catholics who will
take up the challenge and
apply Christian principles in
politics and community af-
fairs" he said.
A. G. TONY FERNANDEZ
was elected president of the
league and will be assisted by
Arthur w. Wiles, vice-presi-
