"This photo is from Ratho, during one of the (in)famous "Voc-Vacs".
At this one I had taken the decision to consider entering formation
to find out what I'd been put here to do. These weekends introduced
us as young men to the life and values of the Society.

Featured in this photo  are Frs Mike Cotton, Damian Duggan,
the excellent Albert Gardiner and the much loved and respected Fr Jasper."
