They almost shook his hand!

Here are some pics of some of our SJS seminarians as the Pope walked through the Shrine of the Immaculate Conception yesterday on his way to Canonizing Saint Juniper Serra yesterday.

George Martell, photographer par excellence, accompanied us on this trip and took all of the wonderful pictures documenting our meeting with the pope and Mass at the Baltimore Cathedral.

Here are some more photos taken by George at the Mass of canonization.
