Michael Kovalak helped as he always does in a crisis, and Bob Campbell showed up in time to make the screens for the windows and the doors. Hans had just finished laying the floor of the barn in time, puting up the stairs and screening it in. One of the retreats was a family retreat, though we had not expected it to be, but the long weekend of the Fourth of July was a temptation, and there were four families, one with five, two with two, and one with one child. There was a study week in June with Father Victor White and Father Pierre Conway, Dominicans, and then retreats with Father Taggart, Vincentian, Father Fiorentino Monsignor Betowski, both from the New York diocese and Father Veale, Josephite. ![]() JUNE AND JULY I have spent on the farm at Newburgh, where the retreats have been going on apace.
