Not Alone

One of the struggles that I have faced at the St. Paul Seminary is the sense of isolation that can easily develop if I am not careful to keep in contact with my own diocese. I am the only man from Rapid City right now, and so it is easy to get disconnected. Hope is in sight, however. Over the Easter Break, one of the younger men told me that he had begun filling out his application to join me here in the fall. What is more, a second man is currently visiting this seminary as he deliberates about where to go next year. It looks like I may not be alone for much longer.
