OCR Our ‘Rector REVEREND WILLIAM J. KANE ‘Speaks . . .. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY . Forty years ogo this summer began the wonderiul “Romance of Malvern." True, Mnlvern did not come into the picture until’ eight years later, but its beginnings do hm: this your A fortielll anniversary. . on August 29, 1913, Mr. John Ferreck with his friend, our esteemed venernble League rresident, John J. Sullivan, Eso. brought to Saint charles seminary a small group or men. There at Overbrook, took place the first retreat of what was to become the laymen’: Week-end Retreat League of Philadelphia or, as we anectionately know it, "the Men of Malvern." A second retreat was held the following Week-end, The total for that first year was 150 retrcutunts. rsther.Terrence shsuly, sJ.,' Retreut Muster or lllount Manresa, Sheen Island, conducted the two retreats held annually at Overbl-oak from 1913 to 1921. A total of eighteen retreats was given during this period and the attendance had grown frolri 150 i.n19l3 to 450 in 1921. cardinslrrsiscs llovemen: ‘ . . ‘ ‘. ., . w in 1520 the late Cardinal Dougherty, Archbishop oirhiludelphia, ad- dressed the retreatants and expressed the hope.tl-lat the zluovernent would soon procure a permanent retreat house. In 1921 our present Malvern was discovered. On May 21 of the following year it was dedicated as Saint Joseph’:-irlrthe-Hills by Cardinal Daugherty. The tirst retreat begun on June 2. 1922. ‘ , . ’ 1 few siutiuiics cell the story or the‘ Retreat Movement’: physical growth. From the two nnnusl retreutsoi 1913, the present program provides no retreats per year‘-two each weekend. The original 51 acres or the Cox estate has been increased to its present 150 acres. The‘ three original buildings now ore ooinpsnioned by four additional structures-the lniest almost completed, is really three buildings In one: grand total of nine. The 150 retreatantn or 1913 are certninly overshadowed by rhe 12,200 who mule retreuts at Malv-rrn in 1952. . v I have not readily available the sum total or all retreats made to date. That is less important, however, than the contribution these thousands of retre ts have made to the Glory of God and to the spiritual welfare of the Men of Malveru and others. Only God Himself tan how and appraise this contribution. - . God Blesuea Mnlvern . ad has blessed us during the past forty years. May He continue to it with Christ-like Retreat Masters and zealous, self-uscrincnig lay leader- ship. May we in some srnnll way merit Eis continued Providence. > We who are now privileged to be the present-day Men of lilulvern have reason to rejoice on this our fortieth anniversary. We have greater reason to thank God for the heritage that is ours and to show appreciation tor the contribution or the noble Priests and Men of Mulveru who have preceded us. . . . . on some future nnniversury day may the then Men of lilalvcrn look buck upon our humble cirorts und ihinlr kindly of the way ihnt we have liepl alive the glorious traditions of Saint .lossph's.in.thc- Hills. May ihry wirh genuine nppreciation behold the heritage that is now ours-further enhanced and more deeply enriched by us who today glory in the title: “Men or nalvern." < , ‘ on August 29 1 shall oirer in your name a Holy Mass for lilalvorn. will you join me in your own way in the dischurge of this debt of gratitude to Him without Whom we ure nothing?
