Settling In at Saint John's Seminary

For the past week, when the twenty seven new men arrived, everyone has been settling in at Saint John's Seminary. The new and the old men are on retreat this week. Please keep them in your continuing prayers. Here are a few pictures from the first week back to Seminary!

The pig roast is always a great hit!

The candle-light procession to the Statue of the Blessed Virgin, at which all men consecrated themselves to the maternal protection of the Mother of God.
