As only God’s Providence would have it, this issue of the Beacon goes to print on the first day of summer! School’s out! The grill is on with burgers and dogs! And the beaches, the mountains, and all the grounds of picnic and sport shout out this season’s invitation: Take a break and relax! Enjoy the great outdoors! Get some extra rest! Have fun at play!
Fr. William Spillane, C.Ss.R., is turning 90 this May. Some may hear that and say “Well, done good and faithful servant – enjoy retirement!” The beauty of the Redemptorists, though, is that “A Redemptorist, not in spite of old age…but through [it] can remain a missionary to the end.”
