Frank Roberts, a retiring Catholic teacher of over 40 years, Fr Dominic Allain, chaplain of Cardinal Vaughan school, and Laurence Gambella, another teacher who is now off to seminary, enjoyed a pleasant retreat with 40 Catholic Year 10 boys from the Vaughan at Tyburn Convent on Friday, July 2, writes Patrick Fleischer.

The day was spent listening to Mother Marie-Channelle talk about the Catholic martyrs executed at Tyburn gallows.

Mother Marie-Channelle also gave a talk about the life of an enclosed contemplative and answered dozens of questions on the life of a Benedictine religious. The boys simply could not believe anyone could live without television.
