after the war

The first meeting of the ex-alumni of St. John after World War I:

“After the Gospel, Fr. Dehon, speaking and obviously touched, addresses his children, big and little ones, with his most paternal voice. He remembers in a short and touching draft the history of the Institution, its beginnings, its rapid rise exceeding all hopes, requiring expansion... then the terrible war... that left only the ruins, in the middle of which we are now. But these ruins today are illuminated by a ray of hope! .... This hope will not be disappointed. The Sacred Heart will bless the workers of the last hour as he blessed those of the first hour... St-Jean will live again!"
