Summary

The February 1964 Beaver Beacon announced that the Christian Brothers were expected to return to Beaver Island for a retreat in June. The June issue then reported that the Brothers were again on the island for a 30-day retreat. It also reported that Brother J. Richard, the previous retreat director, had transferred from Chicago to Tulsa.

Evidence and limits

The February item is a planned-retreat notice, while the June item confirms the Brothers’ reported presence. The sources do not establish exact dates, participants, retreat-house identity, or a formal completion record.
