After a morning of Italian classes and an afternoon conference, the whole community gathered yesterday for Mass and a welcome reception in the Red Room followed by dinner served by the 2nd year men. The new man class left this morning for a fraternity weekend in Assisi. When they return on Sunday evening to continue with orientation, they'll find the entire 2nd year class back at the seminary!

This week of orientation is focused on Italian classes and conferences to learn about the four pillars of priestly formation: human, spiritual, intellectual, and pastoral. Today also included a practice for the upcoming softball tournament and a choir rehearsal to prepare for the diaconate ordination at the end of September.

Yesterday was a full day, complete with the Angelus with Pope Francis in St. Peter's Square, a cookout, a west vs. east softball game (congratulations to the west for the win!) and a dinner with Archbishop Patron Wong, Secretary for Seminaries of the Congregation for the Clergy. This week is filled with Italian class in the morning and conferences in the afternoon. Thank you for your continued prayers throughout the orientation process!

Several orientation traditions took place today, including this year's new tradition of a daily afternoon downpour! The day started at the seminary with Mass, conferences on safety and spiritual direction, and a tour of the Immaculate Conception Chapel followed by praying the Rosary and the blessing and distribution of the images of Our Lady of Humility. Then we boarded the busses to Castel Gandolfo for a wonderful lunch and tour of the papal palace with His Eminence James Cardinal Harvey '76.

Despite the hail in the afternoon, we had a great 2nd day of orientation! It began with Mass at the tomb of St. Peter followed by a tour of the Basilica and individual introductions back at the seminary. After lunch, everyone took the Italian placement exam and the day ended with a delicious dinner on the rooftop terrace cooked by the second year men.

Fr. Soto continues to make his rounds to each group of men studying at the three language schools. This week, he is with the men in Siena!

Please continue to pray for our new men as they continue their language studies! First Week, Complete!

Please pray for our Seminarians as they begin their language studies. They will be studying Italian either in Verbania, Assisi, or Siena for the next three weeks before returning in August to meet the rest of their classmates and begin the Regular Orientation.

On the last day of our Orientation we recieved a tour of St. Paul outside the Walls given by our very own Paul Floersch. After the tour was the Holy Mass in the St. Steven Chapel and then we returned to the NAC for a soccer match and cookout.

Today the seminarians visited the Basilica of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme as well as the Cathedral Basilica of St. John Lateran. The former contains many relics of the passion of Our Lord and the latter is the cathedral of Rome and seat of the Holy Father. In the baptistry of St. John Lateran we renewed our baptismal promises and celebrated the Holy Mass.

19/07/2018

Today our New Men had the opportunity to visit and celebrate the Holy Mass in the catacombs of St. Callixtus, one of the oldest Christian burial sights in the world where the remains of many popes and martyrs were laid to rest during the first centuries of the Church.
