Viatorian Annual Retreats
Scope and Contents
Each Viatorian religious sets aside time each year for contemplation, renewing and focusing his spiritual life. He usually participates in an annual provincial retreat which is a special time to share Viatorian Community life. The collection holds the materials from these retreats, including correspondence, agenda, handouts, presentations, attendees, etc. The materials from the early years are sparse; the later years have better documentaion. The collection dates from 1903 - the present day. Also included are records from the thirty day retreats for the years 1953 and 1961. Once in the life time of a religious, the men make a thirty day or "long retreat."
