iioard Adopts Seal
As Official. Emblem
, The above is a replica of the Mal-
vern Pin which has been purchased
by thousands of retreatants since it-.
was first offered for sale years ago.
- in checking the records of the
League, it was discovered that the
se and sale of the pin was never
officially authorized by the Board of
Directors. To correct this oversight,
the Board, at B meeting held on April
15th, 1959, passed a resolution adopts
ing the above design as the oiiicial
emblem of the Laymen’s Week-End
Retreat League.
The pin is on sale at the religious
goods store in the basement of St.
Joseph's Hall and may be purchased
during any retreat.

Fred Bohrer Cited
For Past Leadership
When the Blessed S a c r )1 in e n t
Group went to Malvern this year for
their retreat, it marked the first an.
niversary of the retirement of Fred
llohrar from the post of c. A. Cap-
tain. ' ‘
Fred had been 18 years as c. A.
Captain. He has been a Man of Mal.
vern for over 25 years.
To commemorate the event, and to
sllow'the gratitude and affection of
the group for the line leadership FTEK
had given them, the new C. A. Caps
tain, Ray Adams, decided upon a
rather unusual presentation.
Ray wrote to many of the older
m
thoughts not only on Malvern, but
also their esteem for Fred Bohrer,
their past c. A. Captain.
The letters were collected and
bound into a handsome volume along
with a preface written by Ed lileehsn,
Sr. Ed, whose memory gnes bani: M
the earliest days of St. Jusepn sain-
tlle-Hills, set down in his preface A
history of the Group, which was per-
forte 3 hirtory of Mr. Bohrer’s Clip-
taincy.
The volume was presented to Fred
during the Group's annual retreat.
Along‘ with the letters, many mem-
bers oi the Group sent contributions
to a testimonial fund. As a conse-
quence, a cheek for $500 was pre-
sented to the Retreat League for a
window in Our Lady's Chapel in
honor of Mr. Bohrer.
