Life as a Novice: RECREATION

In addition to praying and working together, novices discover that playing together creates bonds of friendship. Swimming and racquetball at the local YMCA are opportunities for exercise along with the more-seasonal sports of bicycling, running, and cross-country skiing.

Novices enjoy a relaxing afternoon getting to know each other.
Novices enjoy a relaxing afternoon getting to know each other shortly after entrance day.


Novices take a few days to relax.
Between Christmas and New Year's, first-year novices spent a few days relaxing before they began the Spiritual Exercises, the 30-day retreat. Conditions around Frontenac, Minnesota, were perfect for cross-country skiing as far as Brian McAdam, Fr. John Paul, Drew Kirschman, and John Meehan were concerned.
