Archbishop Viganò Visits Saint John's Seminary

Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, Apostolic Nuncio to the United States of America, visited Saint John's Seminary this morning. The Archbishop is in town to receive an award at the Redemptoris Mater Seminary dinner this evening and was accompanied by Father Anthony Medeiros, rector of the Neo-Catechumenal Way Seminary.

I asked the Archbishop if he had a message for our seminarians and he responded "Tell them to continue in their formation, to seek to grow academically and spiritually in the knowledge of Christ and his Church."

Please pray for Archbishop Viganò as he continues in his ministry of service ot the Holy See and to the Church in the United States of America.
