Why, I know not, but this has been the fasteSt sbhool term in my life. All sorts of plans to meet more people -— and they never materialized. I had hoped to haunt Blan— chard one night a week, knocking on doors and . scaring the hell out of Catholics or whoever might answer.-\It'll_take a .New Year's resolutionto have me try agian come January.

'A Protestant Chaplain inithe States aptly des- cribed the role of a Chaplain. The job des— cription? "Loitering with intent." The "intent", of course, is simply to meet more students. Not,with an eye to converting them, counselling them or warning them against their sinful ways but simply.to meet them and come to know them onta first name basis. That, and somehow to do one‘s part in‘helping skilled loitering, this attempt

,.

to do one's part in build- ing richer community on

campus, I cannot claim « to have mastered the skill or to have contributed that

much to community here. At my Mass at Christ‘

-mas (and there was a time

when I entertained the foolish hope that this might be offered in a real chapel for students here one campus) I shall be remembering by name as many of the UPEI men and women as I can possibly call to mind, and the rest in a general but very real way too. My

prayer for you will be that you might find peace in your own heart, in your life'and in your family. That...and that the coming year will see you blessed with a deeper sense of

. meaning and purpose to

your life. - This I wish with all my middle—aged heart. Merry Christmas. 2 -Fr. Bren Megannety,0.M.I. Chaplain, UPEI
