Back to School

The new seminarians arrived on Wednesday.  A small group of the returning seminarians were on hand to offer hospitality and assistance to the new students, as part of the Seminary Orientation Team.  The schedule has involved different conferences, introducing students to the various aspects of seminary formation, including academic, character, and spiritual formation.  The evening schedule has allowed time for a social/mixer and icebreakers.  The new seminarians seem to be adjusting well.

The returning seminarians arrive Saturday, August 23 by 5:00pm.  Picture Day and Class Registration is on Monday, August 25, and classes begin on Tuesday, August 26.
