Seb Rudolph Played Leading
Role in Buildingof Malvern
lly .iAus:s A. n0UcnEnTY
rhiludelphis “Firsts” are numer-
ous, some o em quite historical,
ntllcrs spiritually praisewoi-thy, and
among these latter we could place in
a leading category the Retreat Move.
mrnt as epitomized by st, Joseph’s-
in.ths.liills.
The orst National Conference or
grown is shown by the registration
at the conference held in St. ui
liht year, when more than 2,000 dele-
gates attended.
But to return to our local "nrsts."
We recall how the Pioneers thrilled
at the news of the first fifty men in
attendance on I week-end retreat at
Mulvcrn hack in 1923. The Cuptnin
or that group was the late John J.
Cilbrcy; but perhaps an even more
intimate first was the fact that Sch
Rudolph, who was with John Cabrey
when Malvern was "discovered," was
the nrst to enter St. Joseph's Hall,
than the Coxe Mansion, because he
was the smallest and could be lilted
through the window which had to he
hroken to gain entrance.
A First Retreatant
Many more “firsts” could be noted,
in all of which Board Member Se-
Sehasllan Rudolph '
bastian Aflziidoirih had a part, but
the list would be too long. we might,
however, say that he attended the
nrst retreat at Overl:-rook, the
Diocesan seminary, in 1913; was
present at the first retreat at Mal.
vern,.in 1922, and among numerous
other nrsts was appointed as the
chairman 0! the service Committee,
which was responsible for supplying
tl'ie'1'oodstufl's for the weekend re.
treats at liialvern.
“Seb," as he is familiarly known
to practically all Men of lvlalvern,
saw the light or day “t'irst" on the
morning or April 17, raid, on the
Rudolph estate in ltianayunk, the
son at Cornelius A. (“Al") and Jane
Dixon Rudolph. The day was Holy
Thursday, and the bells or st. Mary's
church could be heard ringing out
the "Gloria in Excelsis Deo” as h’
hlessed, and with which he has made
thousands happy throughout the
years. His mother was wont to tease
him at times by saying the bells
stopped ringing that morning but
Seh's voice never has been stillcd.
A First C. A. captain
However. the League is deeply
indebted to him for the manner in
which he has used that same voice
to further its material well-being in
soliciting retreatants, singly and in
groups, to come and taste of the joys
of I closed retreat. Friirn Malvern’s
earliest days his cod.given voice,
together with his musical gift as
organist, has had a prominent part
in all the special religious exercises
iostersd by the League. .
In the natural order of things he
became one or the first c. A. cap-
tains at llalvcrn, and this year is
planning to conduct the Holy Rosary
Retreat. as its leader. for the thirty-
secand time.
Also in the natural order, he took
unto himself a wife, in the person
of Jean Conway, his childhood sweet-

Atlantic City Group

Under the leadership of c. A.
captain F. D. Kelly, Atlantic city,
nien of Malvern have launched an in.
tensive campaign in southern New
Jersey which it is hoped will culmi-
nate in the enrollment or many new
retreatants. .
During the last several wecki
Kelly has talked on the subject at
meetings ilit-ld in lluinmontun, Vine-
