Calvary. I had both of my preordination retreats there.<BR/><BR/>It was also during my days as a Westmonster that I found Mt. Calvary a great place to take dates. What girl could turn down, "hey, would you like to go to the monastery to watch the sun set?"<BR/><BR/>Grace and Peace,<BR/>Richard Yale+<BR/>Class of '79Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34346296.post-30198355613275771112008-11-15T13:10:00.000-05:002008-11-15T13:10:00.000-05:00"I only look competent in the above photo"?
