"A Different Perspective" a view into Seminarian Life

Written by Anonymous

Within this group of seminarians and help from the Vocations Office peace, humility, community and solidarity have been able to flourish. Day to day, they can have time to enjoy each other’s company in laughers and smiles while also having the opportunity to listen and talk to God in solidarity.

Its nice being able to talk to the seminarians and get to know them. They are very welcoming, kind and quite the jokesters. They all have their inside jokes and stories. They’ve created a brotherhood, a family. Its interesting to hear about their lives and hobbies. Talking and hearing about their favorite movies and shows.

On Thursday, the priests and seminarians had a quick scrimmage against each other to prepare for the priests vs. seminarians soccer game next week. It was fun being able to see a different side from everyone, a very competitive side. Many priests surprised the seminarians with their competitiveness and talent. Who will win? Priests or Seminarians. Stick around next week and find out!

Starting the day off with adoration and daily mass. During adoration, they can pray both as a group as well as individually. Whether that be to sit in the silence, pray the rosary or read the bible or a book. Everyone finds what works for them and what they feel they need most. The amount of peace and comfort that comes from sitting one on one with God is amazing.
