Fraternity

Before I entered college seminary about four years ago one of the things that I was looking forward to was the fraternity that I was going to encounter. This fact is true now as I have begun my time at the St. Paul Seminary. Yesterday after Mass the third floor south wing were able to go to brunch at a local restaurant. It was a great time to spend with the brothers and joke around and take a break. We as a group are thankful to the benefactors of the seminary for giving us an opportunity to have times like these. I am so thankful to the men I have encountered in my time at seminary especially the first few months at a new place. I am no longer a college freshman and I have been around the seminary system long enough to know that each of us needs support from one another. I think all seminarians can attest to the importance of a support system and how vital it will be when we enter into our ordained ministry in our respective dioceses.
