This year has proved to be e ven more successful for the C .Y.A. We are very proud of th e great progress the organisation has made. This progress is due , in no small manner, to the guidance a nd

Y .A. He outlined both the pri vil eges a tt ac hed to members hip a nd th e adva nt ages to be ga in ed . Hi s visit was a gre at success, res ulting in man y new members. An outstanding fea ture of our C. Y.A . Sundays was a visit by Bi shop Tweedy. who gave us a n excellent talk . A number of priests a lso a tt ended our Sundays a nd to th e m we are indebted for ma ny inte res ting a nd beneficial ta lk s. A number of social gatherings were held throughout the year a nd th ese gave u s a n opportunit y to mee t membe rs from various colleges. Undoubt edl y the most o ut sta nding function was the Co mmunion Brea kfas t held a t th e Mye r Emporium following Mass a t St. Francis'. Again we were fortunate to hav e Bishop Tweedy with u s. Our guest speaker, Jud ge Mulv a ny , ga ve u s a most enlightening addres s o n th e choosing of a vocation. A numbe r of TV personalities were prese nt and th ey provided us with exce ll e nt e nt ertainm e nt.
