Rev. Bernard Murphy CSF (CK) '73 was one of three leaders at this year's Lenten retreat at the school.  Father Bernard, the worldwide superior of the Capuchin Friars of the Renewal (ck), was back on the campus for the first time in many years.  His talk centered on his years after Portsmouth when he went to work with the poor in Appalachia and first felt a yearning to know Jesus as truly as did some of the impoverished mountaineers with whom he worked.  He went on to describe his order and its work in the inner city, its impressive growth in the last decade to over 100 friars, and its continuing geographic expansion.  He also spoke movingly of his work with Mother Teresa and the Missionaries of Charity, and the tremendous epiphany he experienced while working for Mother in one of her hospitals for the indigent and dying.  His remarks left a profound impression on all who heard them, and we hope to have Father Bernard return to Portsmouth soon again.
